Velocity Dance Center has gotten one step closer to realizing their dream of a new long term home on Capitol Hill. One of the may non-profits being dislocated from the Oddfellows building- they have found a beautiful new home at 1621 12th Ave- the old Capitol Hill Arts Center space.
Seismic upgrades and a needed change of use by building landlord Elizabeth Linke took some time over the summer and early fall. In the last week, Velocity has gotten the go-ahead for the city to being their demolition and construction work.
Velocity has their own blog chronicling their capital campaign and move.
Capitol Hill Housing and the 12th Avenue Initiative received a $5,000 grant from the City of Seattle last spring to help fund a neighborhood-based street furniture project. We have a preliminary design which gained support from the neighborhood at the 12th Avenue Stewardship Meeting last week. Interested neighbors, local architects, artists and a stone mason have all been working together to help get this project going. We’re excited to be using surplus granite curbstones from the City of Seattle for the project. Here is a preliminary drawing and a mock-up.
We’re still nailing down locations but we hope to have about 5-6 benches up and down 12th Avenue between John Street and Yesler Way. Stay tuned here for updates!
Capitol Hill Housing is up for consideration in this year’s Strangercrombie fundraiser!
