Hi all,
Well, it's been 6 months since the last update, and things are finally
working themselves out. The Torah Day School has taken possession of
the school, and is finalizing leases with a handful of us to rent
classrooms in what will soon be called the Cultural Corner. In one
classroom will be the Seattle Poetry Lab, ReelYouth and Muse Indigo.
In another classroom will be visual artist Molly Scott. There's still
one classroom available as follows:
700 square feet
$600/month, utilities included (except for wi-fi - we'll be installing
our own and splitting it among the Cultural Corner residents)
Option of a one-year or three-year lease
I believe "early bird" renters get one month free this first year
If you're interested, please contact the property manager, Adam Simon:
206.686.6362 phone
206.755.6345 cell

The Rainier Valley Historical Society is considering storage space in
the building, and Adam says they're hoping the Farmers Market will
come onto the property for next year's market. AlleCat Acres was on
the original RFP to create P-patches with the gardens there, but I've
not been in contact with them. There's been some communication gaps
while things are in transition, but hopefully everything will smooth
out after the Jewish holidays. Those of us renting plan on moving in
on October 1st.
We collectively hope to create a community arts gathering space, and
will put out a calendar of events once we move in and get settled.
Thanks to everyone who's been on this ride for the past five years.
Your input and the discussions we've had have been really valuable in
terms of seeing what's important to the neighborhood. What we've ended
up with is a mixture, and that seems like as good a solution as we
could have for now.
Sincerely and optimistically
