Downtown Seattle's battered office market is showing signs of life after years of declining occupancy, though full recovery likely remains a way off. Why it matters: The gains offer a hopeful sign for one of Seattle's most troubled economic sectors, which has struggled to recover from the pandemic and remains a weak spot in the city's economy .
