"I've lived here since 2002. When dealing with Mt. Baker Housing, it is clear that their primary goal is to provide housing to as many low-income people as possible. You do not get the feeling that the directors of Mt. Baker Housing are running the organization to enrich themselves."

About Mt. Baker Housing

People should not need to choose between paying for necessities like groceries and childcare and paying their rent. Yet thousands in Washington face displacement or homelessness because housing costs are exorbitantly high.

Our commitment is to building brighter futures in southeast Seattle. We’re creating vibrant, affordable properties – places where residents feel supported and are proud to call home.

Our origin story is rooted in the redevelopment of the Mt. Baker Village Apartments. With hundreds of Seattle citizens living in unsafe conditions, the City of Seattle purchased the property in 1988 and sold it to us the same year, our first year in business. Rehabilitation on the nine-building complex began in 1988 and ended in 1990.

Today we’ve developed and now own and operate seven low-income and affordable housing properties.

  • 350+ units
  • Serving 750+ residents

Soon, we will offer much more affordable housing to southeast Seattle.

  • Four new properties by 2025
  • 850 more affordable housing units
  • Capacity to house 2000+ residents

By 2027 five new properties will be completed, adding nearly 1100 units of affordable housing to our portfolio, with the capacity to house more than 2800 residents.

Between our distinguished Board of Directors and dedicated staff, we bring decades of experience in real estate development and affordable housing. We care about the people affected by the housing crisis and work hard to make a difference in their lives.
