Your rights

Washington protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide under RCW 59.18.255, and the City of Seattle bars it under Seattle Municipal Code 14.08 — landlords generally cannot refuse you simply because you would pay with a Housing Choice Voucher.

Neighborhood

Bell Tower sits in Belltown next to downtown Seattle, served by extensive King County Metro bus service and within walking distance of the waterfront and Pike Place Market.
