Duwamish Cohousing is an oasis of community living in West Seattle, tucked in a lush pocket of nature. Duwamish members all participate in managing their community while having their own duplex homes. This is a place where shared experiences happen regularly, children play, and your neighbors are your friends.
We are an active cohousing community of 23 residential condos with common grounds and facilities, participatory governance, plenty of community activities, and diversity. Living in a pocket of nature, our units face the community pathway and are surrounded by lush grounds to foster community and connection to the natural world.
Duwamish Cohousing was designed with environmental consciousness. Our community is surrounded by trees and native vegetation, including nurturing the lower wetland area. Throughout our community you will find food gardens and edible landscaping, with children snatching ripe berries in the summer. Our units utilize radiant floor heating for effectiveness and energy savings. And we utilize responsible rainwater management, including permeable paving and ecological runoff streams.
