Mary's Place for a temporary family shelter located in the former Barnaby's/Chateau Event
Center at the southwest corner of Strander Boulevard and West Valley Highway. The center
would prioritize Tukwila families and accommodate up to 90 residents in one or two parent
families that include at least one minor child. Upgrades to the building would include showers,
laundry, kitchen refurbishment, and installation of two modular buildings. The draft agreement
proposes a term of three years with a possible two-year extension. Mary's Place operates many
other facilities in the area and have a proven model of moving families out of homelessness with
intensive services and support. The average Mary's Place stay is 86 days, but there is no limit as
long as the family is working toward housing. Mary's Place representatives addressed the
Committee to describe the program in detail, and Councilmembers asked clarifying questions.
Each Councilmember expressed support for having Mary's Place in Tukwila. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 24, 2017 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. (*Note, on 7/11 Mary's
Place requested the City delay the public hearing until August)
