Plymouth as a Neighbor"Plymouth Housing has been wonderfully collaborative in responding to and seeking the neighborhood's ideas and input. Plymouth serves our community members in most urgent need of housing and we're proud to call them a partner.”
- Alex Hudson, First Hill resident
“The residents and staff of both buildings [on 3rd
Avenue] are good neighbors to our community. Plymouth made every effort to lease the space to organizations that would be an asset to 3rd Avenue… This decision has been an asset to the block. I am pleased to support Plymouth.”
- Valerie Mudra, Belltown resident
