Our first priority when we started planning our Building Hope expansion was to create a safe, healing and welcoming environment for patients and families. But we didn’t stop there.

CURVe, the Children’s University of Washington Residence Vision was named in part for the curved side street where it will be built. The site is a University of Washington-owned parking lot at 11th Avenue Northeast just south of Northeast 47th Street. Read full post »
