Hiawatha Community Center Stabilization

Updated: April 27, 2023

Community Center Stabilization

Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) received approval on the FEMA grant and we are moving forward with the project. We are making building code updates to the design and anticipate the project will go out to bid in early spring 2023 with anticipated construction starting in late summer 2023.

Hiawatha Community Center was identified in the 2016 Community Center Strategic plan for a major maintenance project focused on extending the life of the facility and increasing programming potential. A preliminary scope of the project is outlined below. The final scope is expected to be refined throughout the design process based on more information about cost and needs. Seattle Parks and Recreation planning staff are meeting with the community center Advisory Council to review the scope and schedule.
