Project of the Week: Sacred Medicine House | Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce
Sacred Medicine House is a five-story, 120-unit supportive living apartment complex in Lake City at 14315 Lake City Way N.E.
The building features four floors of wood framing over a post-tension concrete podium. The project involved extensive site work, a courtyard, and support spaces.
The building will house members of the local Indigenous communities experiencing homelessness. Ground-floor amenities include consult/talking rooms and a clinic exam room for visiting health care professionals. Resident amenities feature a large activity room, common area kitchen, lounge, central laundry, and an enclosed courtyard designed as a calming space for healing.
All artwork was commissioned from local Indigenous artists.
Rolluda Architects along with Jones & Jones were the architects for this project.

36 International District units set for vacant hulk | Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce
The 104-year-old former Republic Hotel, at 416 Seventh Ave. S., has been vacant for years, and subject to regular vacant building violation notices from the city. About seven years ago, the longtime owners did gain approval from the International Special Review District Board to convert the building to apartments over retail. After slow progress, the city issued a construction permit early last year.
Now it appears the property will be sold to the InterIm Community Development Association, a regular force in the International District.
With Rolluda Architects, InterIm CDA filed a revised plan last week for a 36-unit residential conversion project, also to include a complete renovation, new penthouse level and full seismic retrofit.
