Chief Seattle Club leaders, city and county leaders, and members of the community came together to celebrate the grand opening of Sacred Medicine House on Friday, April 12. Designed by Rolluda Architects, Sacred Medicine House is a five-story, 120-unit apartment complex located on Lake City Way in northeast Seattle dedicated to permanently housing Native adults experiencing homelessness, prioritizing residents who might be in recovery. It will be a place of healing that will provide housing in a trauma-informed, culturally appropriate and holistic model centered on building community and fostering a sense of belonging.
