About this project

Filings at 7544 M L King Jr Way S in Seattle's Brighton trace a long search for a program: transitional encampment proposals for up to 100 people, with tent spaces, portable toilets, an outdoor kitchen and 16 small houses, were filed under 3024063-LU and 3032297-LU, while larger housing schemes were also pursued. A mixed-use building with 165 affordable homes and a food bank was canceled over unpaid fees under 3026207-LU, after early design guidance (3026207-EG), and a scheme with about 170 apartments and about 10,000 square feet of day care space was withdrawn under 3036740-LU and 3037135-EG. A separate construction permit (6787582-CN) covers a mixed-use building on the site.
