Owing its name to a style of anchor used to secure ships in harbor, The Danforth is a 16-story apartment tower on top of Seattle’s newest Whole Foods Market. Opening in July 2018, with pre-leasing starting in May, The Danforth sits at the apex of three distinct neighborhoods, anchoring the intersection of Broadway and Madison – connecting Capitol Hill, First Hill and Seattle University.
The Danforth Experience Contest
The Danforth is giving you a chance to get in early by entering to win one of four unforgettable experiences – a getaway to Willows Inn on Lummi Island, a private party at the Frye Art Museum, a private screening at the Northwest Film Forum, or custom whiskey blending with OOLA Distillery – and more!
The contest is designed to introduce prospective tenants to some of the iconic cultural organizations and local businesses that make The Danforth’s neighborhood such a great place to live. For every entrant, The Danforth will donate $1 (up to $10,000) to one of three local non-profits that help make the neighborhood vibrant, including Artist Trust, Seattle Humane and the Country Doctors. Each non-profit will receive a minimum of $2,500. Contest entrants can vote for the non-profit of their choice. The leading vote-getter will receive an additional $2,500.
