When it comes to location, prime is an understatement. Merz is set on culturally vibrant and centrally located California Avenue, the heart and soul of West Seattle. All the basics are covered within just a few blocks, including groceries and caffeine. Iconic, loved stops and spaces are all around, from the shores and paths of Lincoln Park to the vibes and eats at Easy Street Records and Cafe–and so much more. For commutes or nights out in downtown Seattle, convenience is a given whether by bus (30 minutes), bike (40 minutes), or car (under 20 minutes). Giving you more everyday options, and more time to enjoy, Merz puts you at the nexus of everything Seattle is known and loved for.
