Urban League of Metro Seattle Acquires Site to Develop New HQ

The Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle Urban League acquired a 1.19-acre site in Seattle’s North Rainier Urban Village for $14.35 million. Located on three parcels near the Judkins Park Light Rail Station at 2001, 2009 and 2021 Rainier Avenue South, the property planned for the site will become the future headquarters of Seattle’s Urban League.

The property will also provide approximately 275-300 new affordable apartment homes. The Urban League has hired Seattle-based SRM Development to provide development management services for the new building.

The City of Seattle’s Office of Housing will provide $2.5 million for the affordable units, and the Washington State Housing Finance Commission is providing $12 million in funding as part of the organization’s Community Development Land Acquisition Program (CDLAP), which is funded in part by a $50 million commitment from Microsoft. Construction on the site is expected to begin in the summer of 2025.
