Econo Lodge North

Belltown - between downtown and the Space Needle - has become a happening place in the last decade. And where the restauarants and bars have led, the yuppies have followed. Lots of new mid-rise condos have sprouted on what had been empty lots and unused warehouses. Fortunately, the city has planned wisely (for the most part), and there hasn't been the same kind of overbuilding here that you seem in some new urban neighborhoods - for example, Chicago's Streeterville. My friend Al lived in one of the new Belltown Condos before his recent marriage. It was interesting learning all about condo politics through him.
