Through this five-year partnership, we're committed to providing essential resources to empower and strengthen the greater Renton, Washington community.  Located in the Benson Hill and Cascade area, their 21,000 sq. ft. facility is the first all-ages community center in the state to offer traditional programs and recreational spaces, including a gym, fitness center and activities lounge, alongside a health clinic that provides medical, dental and behavioral services. Community members will also be able to participate in art, financial literacy, tutoring, dance, cooking and yoga classes.

We are tackling these questions and more at Breakfast, February 21. Our expert panel will discuss topics ranging from strategic hiring and business operations to increasing market share and re-centering DEI.

A heartfelt thank you to Kenneth Nti for bringing passion and dedication to our team. Today, we celebrate your one-year anniversary!

We are profoundly grateful for the opportunity to design timeless homes for families in the Northwest and partner with exceptional clients and consultants. The original design of this 1996 residence was ahead of its time, incorporating an ADU – a forward-thinking move that embraced adaptability and inclusivity, reflecting the ever-changing landscape of modern living.   In 2006, the home underwent a transformation to accommodate the growing needs of the family. This expansion involved seamlessly integrating a new level beneath the existing structure, expanding its footprint without compromising its inherent character and essence.
