D E S C Bitter Lake Apartments
Downtown Emergency Services Center (DESC) is in the planning and permitting stage for a 6-story, apartment building with 100 small efficiency dwelling units on N 143rd St. between Aurora Ave. N and Linden Ave. N. DESC provides integrated services including housing, emergency shelter, crisis intervention and healthcare to thousands of homeless and formerly homeless people.
A complete description is available in the Early Design Guidance document at this link.
There are other DESC buildings around Seattle, including at Aurora Ave. N and N 105th St.
The location of Northwest Hospital 15 on the vicinity map is incorrect. Northwest Hospital is on the east side of Aurora Ave N between 115th and 120th. Fremont Ave N is east of Greenwood. It makes me wonder about the other information glassily proposed. The “ghetto” is growing.
