Seattle will transfer Fire Station 6 into a community center for the Central District

In response to protests and community demands, the City of Seattle will transfer Fire Station 6 in the Central District to the community.

Fire Station 6 has been decommissioned and unused for years.

Community leaders have long-pushed for the property to better serve the historically Black Central District.

”You know, it appears to be a step in the right direction and we're glad that the Mayor recognizes that bold and unprecedented investments are needed to bring equity shared prosperity to our community,” said K. Wyking Garrett, with the Africatown Community Land Trust and King County Equity Now Coalition.
