About The Marlborough
Welcome to one of Seattle’s most iconic landmarks. Completely re-imagined with warm, modern living spaces and thoughtful, luxury conveniences. An ambassador, a diplomat, even some of Seattle’s most celebrated artists have called The Marlborough home. Built in 1927 by architect Earl W. Morrison, the building was one of the first residential high-rises to grace the Seattle skyline. Designed in the Gothic Revival tradition, the elaborate terra cotta and golden brick facade stands a proud reminder of Seattle’s heritage… and an exciting promise of something new.
The Marlborough is an apartment community located in King County and the 98101 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Seattle Public Schools attendance zone.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
