Terrace & Yesler
Seattle, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2024
Yesler Terrace is a historic and transforming neighborhood in Seattle, known as the site of the nation's first racially integrated public housing project, built in the early 1940s. Located on a hill just east of downtown, the area was originally conceived to replace substandard housing and provide a community with great views and proximity to jobs and transit. Today, the Seattle Housing Authority is in the process of a major revitalization, replacing the original low-rise rowhouses with a mixed-income, mixed-use community. The redevelopment aims to create a dynamic neighborhood with more affordable housing units, new parks, and improved connections to the city, all while honoring its rich history and cultural diversity.
