is wearing out, and now it is time to replace it. Our goal is to build healthier, sturdier andmore functional housing for its current residents that will endure for at least another 70 yearsand serve low-income residents into the future.
Providing enduring low-income housing drives our work here. But beyond our housing goals,many opportunities for strengthening the community present themselves. Working with the
City of Seattle, nonprot partners and private businesses, we envision the new Yesler Terraceas a mixed-income, mixed-use neighborhood that will be a diverse and exciting communitywhere people across the income spectrum come to live, learn, work and play.
Yesler Terraces 30-acre site, situated as it is at the edge of downtown, invites us as aprogressive city to create a new neighborhood that replaces worn-out housing and also meetsbroader goals of enhanced opportunity, greater access to education, sustainability andlivability.
Here at the Seattle Housing Authority, we will maintain our focus on creating great
low-income housing at Yesler Terrace. We invite others to partner with us to meet thesebroader goals and help to create a truly great urban neighborhood in the heart of Seattle.
is development plan lays out a broad framework for therenewal of housing and the enhancement of the YeslerTerrace community over the next 10 to 20 years.
Our mission at Yesler Terrace and throughout Seattle is toprovide the healthiest, most well-built housing possible forlow-income residents. We have maintained the 70-year old housing
at Yesler Terrace well, and we are immensely proud of the richtradition of inclusion and opportunity that this community hasoered those who have lived here. But the housing at Yesler Terrace
