    This building is in one of the best locations in Seattle. Walking distance to tons of restaurants and shops. The building itself is nice and simple, with a very convenient door system. The building manager is a little bit lazy, as when we moved in there were a handful of things we needed to address and have fixed. But otherwise, great spot.

    I love Bowman apartments so much, the leasing office is so nice and easy to communicate with. Never met a leasing office with such care!

    Construction on 38th has been a pain recently. Street closed often, crew directing people to “go around” despite it being the only way into the garage. Otherwise everything continues to be great! Annalisa and co. are incredible staff and deserve some love (or compensation ;))
