Have you ever looked at the Good Shepherd Center, with its stately old brick facade, lush gardens outside, the sounds of children’s laughter floating in from Meridian Park in the back, and thought to yourself: “why don’t I have my office there?”
Well, it’s time to make your dreams come true. Mark Willson from Historic Seattle gave us the heads up that two offices (one ~120 sq ft and one ~260 sq ft) have come open, and they’re seeking new tenants. Join the likes Alliance Francaise, the CG Jung Society, the Meridian School, the Pacific NW Needle Arts Guild, Seattle Tilth and, of course, the Wallingford Senior Center as tenants of this fabulous and storied building.
Says Mark:
The GSC preference is for a non-profit organization that serves the local community. (Wallingford-, Green Lake- or University District-serving organizations would come first, Seattle-serving next, etc.) They were previously rented together with the smaller providing a small office appropriate for one or two people and the larger a “therapy” room. They could be rented separately or together. They are available now.
If local non-profits don’t come forward the space will be available to private professionals or organizations.

That would be a great place to have one’s business!
The Meridian School coudl expand. so could the art school from downstairs. I would be happy to help.
The school has already maxed out its space in the building, and we (or at least this one parent) are very happy with the amazing space and resources that we have already. Though the school is the biggest tenant, we only use a small portion (20% I think) of the building, and are in a separate wing (plus the old laundry). I can say it is a lovely and beautiful space, the grounds are peaceful and well maintained, and the building management is top rate.
I think the open space is on the third floor, away from the hustle and bustle of the school. There is a shared waiting area that is very tastefully decorated, and the entire floor is a very quiet and serene space. Except for Friday before Halloween, when the entire building is treated to a short, 10 minute parade by all the school kids in their costume. 😉
I recall classrooms with few windows which seemed very crowded in kindergarten and first grade clases. Natural light is healthy.
The K and 1 classrooms in the old laundry building have been fully remodeled now, thanks to several years of fundraising by the parents, and the space is light and open. I love how the rooms feel now. Plus the K/1 kids get two recesses most days (lucky ducks!), and get to enjoy the beautiful grounds outside, on the fields in back and the playground.
