Occupancy Limits:

Due to square footage and occupancy regulation in King County, our Studio Apartments are single occupancy units.
We have a one person per room policy for 2-bedroom units since we lease by the bedspace. You can rent both bedrooms if you would like to rent the full unit. Please review the double occupancy policy in our lease agreement to learn more.

Learn more about the MFTE program via Seattle’s housing website.
