Congratulations to Plymouth Housing on Almquist Place Affordable Housing

We would like to congratulate Plymouth Housing on receiving a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for their newest supportive housing community a Bob & Marcia Almquist Place. Following stringent guidelines regarding COVID-19, this mixed-use building was successfully completed and will provide 102 new homes for individuals transitioning out of homelessness, supportive services space and new facilities offices for Plymouth Maintenance staff.

We value the partnership with Plymouth Housing as they work diligently to address Seattle’s homelessness crisis, providing permanent housing and services to the most vulnerable populations. Lastly, we want to thank Weinstein A+U architects, and the WALSH project team for their diligence and partnership in obtaining this milestone ahead of schedule.

Support For Community During COVID-19

In this time of rapid change and proactive decisions, many events and organizations have canceled their fund-raisers or social gatherings out of respect for public health. Many of these organizations are non-profits or small businesses that depend on financial support from our greater community.

WALSH is honored to continue to support these organizations through these uncertain times and will continue to provide sponsorships and donations even though the event has been canceled. We strongly encourage our project partners, stakeholders and business community at large to do the same.

Together we will support each other and be an even stronger community as we weather this storm. Thank you.
