Is Soho pet-friendly? +

Yes. Soho is pet-friendly, which is an increasingly important feature for Eastside buyers and expands the buyer pool on resale. Pet policies are subject to change by HOA vote, so always verify current breed restrictions, weight limits, and number-of-pet rules directly with the HOA before making an offer.

What makes Soho different from other Kirkland condos? +

Soho combines features that are rarely found together in a Kirkland condominium: a boutique two-building community with 58 total residences, no rental cap with short-term rental potential (an extraordinarily rare combination on the Eastside), pet-friendly policies, soaring ceilings and open-concept residences with gas fireplaces, a walkable Downtown Kirkland location, and quick access to Google’s Kirkland campus and I-405.
