has turned one of the buildings in its Seattle headquarters into a permanent homeless shelter.
Since 2017, the company had plans to create a homeless shelter for Mary’s Place Family Center on its Seattle campus. From 2016 to 2018, the shelter had operated out of a vacant Amazon building, but now the new location in the Regrade neighborhood of Seattle has opened. The brand new facility has eight floors and 63,000 square feet of usable space, which is a 40 percent increase from the previous building’s capacity. The shelter has an industrial kitchen for residents to use, an on-site health clinic, office space and recreational areas where kids can play. Mary’s Place can shelter up to 1,000 people per year and 200 family members each night.
