Northgate Affordable Housing

Community Roots Housing and BRIDGE Housing are partnering to create affordable housing at the Northgate Transit HUB. The project will provide 232 affordable apartments at the site of the forthcoming Northgate Link light rail station on land owned by King County Metro. The new development will include a 10,000 square foot daycare on the ground floor. The building will be designed to meet Evergreen Sustainable Design Standards and leverage great transit opportunities such as bike lanes and bus connections.

The Northgate Equitable Transit Oriented Development (TOD) will create:

• An affordable, vibrant, and inclusive community where people of all incomes live close to where they work, play, and shop
• A community with increased mobility for pedestrians, transit riders and bicyclists served by the new transportation hub
• An early education space offering a critical asset in the neighborhood
• A design that leads in environmental sustainability by balancing urban growth and natural resource protection

Location: NE 103^rd St. & 3^rd Ave. NE in the Seattle Northgate neighborhood

We want to hear from the community!

Share your priorities for this project via survey. The survey is open beginning on February  17, 2021 for four weeks and will inform its design to support a successful integration into the neighborhood’s needs and assets.  

Please join us for a community outreach meeting to review our project. We value your thoughts and input, and hope you can attend.

Note: Any information collected may be made public.

The building will include a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments serving 30% to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). For a four-person household, this means households with an income between approximately $35,800 and $71,640.
