Pride Place is a LGBTQIA senior housing community under construction on Seattle's Capitol Hill, in the U.S. state of Washington. Located on Broadway between Pike and Pine, the project is considered the first of its kind in Washington. It will house 118 apartment units, a clinic, and offices for the GenPride Senior Center.
History
In 2018, the City of Seattle's Office of Housing commissioned a report to examine the housing needs of older LGBTQIA adults. The Goldsen Institute at the University of Washington released a report titled, "Aging in Community: Addressing LGBTQ Inequities in Housing and Senior Services."
On June 15, 2023, the housing development began accepting applications.
It celebrated its grand opening on October 25, 2023. The first floor also houses a local community organization, GenPride, which serves as a community center.
The bubble tea shop Sunright Tea is slated to open in the building.
