Lake City Community Center Redevelopment

Spring 2025

The City of Seattle’s Office of Housing (OH) and Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) are excited to announce the selection of Mercy Housing to lead the redevelopment of the former Lake City Community Center. This innovative project will rebuild the community center, which was closed following a fire in 2023, and integrate it with 94+ affordable rental homes that are uniquely family focused, with a large designation of 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom units serving residents whose incomes are up to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI).

Please visit the Lake City Community Center and Affordable Housing Co-Location Redevelopment project page for more information.

SPR is collaborating with the Department of Neighborhoods (DON) to conduct an inclusive public outreach and collate all the input to inform the design process for this redevelopment.
