About The Marlborough

Welcome to one of Seattle’s most iconic landmarks. Completely re-imagined with warm, modern living spaces and thoughtful, luxury conveniences. An ambassador, a diplomat, even some of Seattle’s most celebrated artists have called The Marlborough home. Built in 1927 by architect Earl W. Morrison, the building was one of the first residential high-rises to grace the Seattle skyline. Designed in the Gothic Revival tradition, the elaborate terra cotta and golden brick facade stands a proud reminder of Seattle’s heritage… and an exciting promise of something new.

The Marlborough is located in the First Hill Neighborhood and 98101 Zip code of Seattle, WA. This community is professionally managed by Precision Management
