A Community Effort

Grow Community is a new type of development, designed to reach standards not yet seen in a residential development in our country. We know the challenge is great — that’s why we think it’s worth doing.

We’re not doing it alone. We’ve assembled a team of experts to imagine, design and create Grow Community. We’ve also reached out to our island community, our Seattle friends, and dozens of volunteers and neighbors to create a vision for this unique project.

They’ve helped us achieve something far beyond our expectations, enriching our lives and our experience along the way. Together, we have grown a community.
