NOTE - DATE HAS CHANGED: AUGUST 25TH 5:30-7:30PM - 1219 E MARION ST
The Yobi Apartments is finally ready. This project has been much discussed as a new model for how to build microhousing in Seattle. The Yobi was designed from the ground up with the conviction that congregate housing can be a desirable housing option where the architecture and the shared features can support chance interaction and help to build community among the residents. For microhousing proponents and critics alike, we welcome you this open house to learn more about microhousing and what it can be.
