Local Pilates studio FLX has officially secured a commercial space within the new seven-story Ryder building in Seattle. The studio is scheduled to debut this new fitness center in early 2027.
Why it matters
This expansion brings additional wellness amenities to the neighborhood around Northeast 68th and Roosevelt Station. The project is part of a 244-unit residential development that adds significant density to the local area.
