Olympic View Apartments

and phones calls to their office. Because of the consistent change in management parking was always an issue, other tenants and building maintenance would be parked in my spot half of my time living there. Packages would go missing all the time and our mailboxes were broken into multiple times. Safety and cleanliness of the elevator also a continued issue, got stuck in it a couple times. Some major construction was happening on the street for months and Olympic view never gave tenants any updates on how long it was going to take or the fact they dug up the driveways to enter the parking garage which made even entering the building on foot difficult without walking into traffic since the sidewalks were all torn out. The side doors to the lobby were always broken in so most of the time you couldn't open them from the inside. In general this building is old, outdated and overpriced for rent. Highly recommend not living here.

is nice and is well maintained. There is an elevator which services the four floors of apartment. The apartments are small but are quite adequate for a single person, or a couple with no children. My apartment opens up to a long hallway. Off to the immediate left is a small but adequate storage closet. Down the hall to the right is the bedroom, and across from the bedroom is the bathroom. The hall ends in the living room, and to the left of the living room is the kitchen. The carpets are beige with cream-colored walls. Besides a queen-sized bed and a hefty dresser and night stand, there is standing room only in the bedroom. The closet runs the length of one wall and is only about 56 sq. ft. It is small but with imagination and some storage organizers, it is sufficient for someone who isn't a pack rat. The bathroom is also standing room only, but has everything one needs and is practically self-cleaning. There is a tub and shower combo, and a wall-length mirror and a new vanity with plenty of shelves. Counter space is spare in the kitchen. The appliances are chrome, and go well with the new cupboards which are blond oak with dark brown and tan faux marble countertops. The kitchen is well organized. The dinning area is an extension of the kitchen. A west-facing, wall-length window lights up this cozy area which is just big enough for a hutch and small table. There is plenty of room for a full-sized living room set, bookshelves, and TV wall in the living room. The west wall is a full-length window which looks out on the Olympic Mountains and the Puget Sound. It is a sunset lovers dream.
