The Arc Legacy Center: Your home for developmental disability services and support
Your new home
The Arc of King County and Mercy Housing NW are partnering together to create a groundbreaking new model of housing and services, tailored to the specific needs of the developmental disability community.
This new model is the first of its kind in Washington state. Key elements include:
- 130 affordable, energy-efficient residences ranging in size from studio apartments to 3-bedrooms units
- 26 units reserved for individuals and families with developmental disabilities [referred by The Arc of King County]
- The Arc of King County Headquarters with 11,000 sf of access to disability resources and services for the community
- Transit-oriented development offering residents easy access to light rail and rapid transit connections
- Thoughtfully accessible design throughout the public and private spaces of the building, including an accessible playground and public bathroom with Hoyer lift and state-of-the-art adult changing table.
“The Arc Legacy Center is an investment in the long-term future of our organization and mission. Co-locating services with affordable housing gives me hope for our community,” said The Arc of King County Board President, Stacia Irons.
Help us build the home for developmental disability services and support
The 7-story building is next to the Angle Lake light rail station in SeaTac. Construction began in fall 2023 and progresses every day. Estimated grand opening is in late Spring 2025.
This building and partnership mark a pivotal moment for The Arc of King County. It brings us closer to a world where people with developmental disabilities thrive as equal and valued members of the community. It takes steps towards affordable housing designed to support the unique needs of the developmental disability community. And it allows expanded programming and community gathering in our permanent space.
Our vision for the future is only possible with your support. Thank you for helping to build our new home!
