Apex Belltown Co-op

Purchased in 1981 but requiring nearly three years of sweat equity and significant repairs, the Apex Belltown Co-op was finally deemed livable in 1984. Consisting of four shared kitchens and eight shared bathrooms, plus 20 living units with one, two or three rooms, the cooperative owns and operate 35 percent (two floors) of the former Apex Hotel in Seattle's Belltown District. There are approximately 25 people currently living in the coop.
