Community Meeting on Magnuson's Bldg 9 Tomorrow


Tomorrow, Saturday, December 12, from 9 a.m.-noon, there will be a community meeting to discuss Building 9, a former barracks building. UW currently owns the building which is vacant.


"The City of Seattle Office of Housing is working with the UW and community stakeholders to return the building to an active use. The current proposal is for Building 9 to serve as workforce housing for people earning up to between 80% of area median income (~ $44,000) and median income (~ $60,000) for a single person," says the website.

Also discussed will be the commercial use of the building.

The public is invited to this interactive meeting to learn about the housing concept and share thoughts, concerns, and ideas. There will be ample time for everyone to give comments and offer suggestions.

The meeting will be held in the Matthews Beach Room, the Brig, Magnuson Park, 6344 NE 74th Street.

Contact Ryan Curren, Special Projects Coordinator, Seattle Office of Housing, at 206-684-0362 or 206-499-5342 (cell) or Ryan.Curren@seattle.gov for further information.
