Interbay Village Moving Day

Updated: Jan 31, 2023

Today Tent City 5 moved to its new home:  Interbay Village by the Magnolia Bridge at 1601 15th Ave W.  The site is owned by the Port of Seattle and is being leased to the City of Seattle as a tiny house village for homeless people.

The new Interbay Village, when completed, will feature 30 tiny houses with electricity and heat, a kitchen, community space, counseling office and plumbed toilet and shower facilities.  Approximately 65 program participants will live there.

Interbay Village will be a clean and sober community with program participants participating in the daily operation of the village, including round-the-clock security shifts.

The 2017 Point in Time Count found 11,543 people in Seattle and King County experiencing homelessness. “Living in a heated and insulated tiny house in a safe village is far better than living in a cold and wet tent under a bridge,” said Sharon Lee, Low Income Housing Institute’s Executive Director.  “We thank the Port of Seattle for offering their vacant property to help people in need. We appreciate the devotion and hard work from hundreds of volunteers who built and painted thirty 8’ x 12’ tiny houses.”

LIHI is sponsoring Interbay Village with SHARE, a nonprofit organization that will manage the day-to-day operations and organize the program participants to live cooperatively.  The Seattle Human Services Department is providing operating and services support including funding for a case manager to help people obtain long-term housing and employment.

The organizations and groups that helped fund and/or build the tiny houses include:

  1. Miller Hull – built the metal “Mighty House”

  2. PACE – construction school built two houses

  3. Solstice Pot Shop – built one house

  4. YouthBuild – built two houses

  5. Bill Lichty – neighbor, built one house

  6. Seattle Vocational Institute – built one house

  10. Temple Beth Am – funded and built three houses

  11. Temple Beth Am, Gaby Bell Memorial House – built one house

  12. Chief Seattle International H.S. – built one house

  13. Ann Richardson – neighbor, built one house with neighborhood help

  14. Holy Spirit Lutheran Church – built one house

  15. Peace Lutheran Church – built one house

  16. Precision Builders Inc – built three houses

  17. Huber Custom Building – provided support and instructions for 8 houses

  18. Enterprise Community Partners – built 6 houses

  19. Microsoft Employee Volunteers – United Way Day of Caring
