Historic Seattle manages the Good Shepherd Center and has used the Senior center as a cash cow. From 1985 through 1996 the monthly rent the Senior Center was charged averaged about $1,675/month. then it started creeping up, far more than inflation. until last year it was about four times as much, $4,750/month. No wonder they went in the hole. Although the present operating rules cant stop Historic Seattle’s outrageously greedy behavior, perhaps some revisions can be made to restore some measure of fairness in the rent structure. This outright gouging should be stopped.

Excellent news!

BTW, could someone post a note when the Center starts taking contributions that will be matched by the Challenge Grant? (And major thanks and kudos to the anonymous donor(s) who made the grant.)
