Seattle rents have declined for months since the start of the pandemic, dropping by 20% year over year.

The median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in January was $1,366. For a two-bedroom apartment in Seattle, the median rent price stood at $1,666.

Megagallery Gagosian has closed its San Francisco outpost after just four years and is instead seeking to elevate its profile in Los Angeles, where it recently struck a deal to occupy space in the former Marciano Museum, where it is to begin programming early this year. The addition complements its established Beverly Hills outpost. “To consolidate and strengthen Gagosian’s presence in California, we are concentrating our efforts based in Los Angeles, for the time being,” said the gallery in a statement.
Gagosian s Bay Area gallery, which opened in 2016 on Howard Street across from the newly renovated San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, hosted shows by Richard Prince, Ed Ruscha, Jonas Wood, and Jay DeFeo, among others, and partnered with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Parks Conservancy to install two large-scale sculptures by Giuseppe Penone at Fort Mason, where they remain on view through March of this year
