Project Timeline & Financing                    Needs
CONSTRUCTION HAS STARTED in August of  2021. Construction began with partial demo of the existing building which is almost complete. On the residential side, major strides were made in utilities. The project is expected to complete in December 2022.                 As we reach this important milestone, we would like to thank all community members and stakeholders for the relentless effort to change what seemed to be a dream to reality! ​​For current updates and pictures please visit our Facebook Page, Ethiopian Community in Seattle.
