Seattle, WA – [June 20, 2025] – Bayview, a 62+ nonprofit Life Plan Community, proudly announces the groundbreaking of its Phase II campus upgrades—marking the next chapter in its 64-year legacy of service in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood.

Following the successful completion of Phase I—which featured upgraded windows and balconies to improve energy efficiency, comfort, and aesthetics—Phase II will bring a new wave of enhancements to further enrich the experience for current and future residents.

Key upgrades in Phase II include:

  • Addition of Nine New Terrace Apartments – Phase II will introduce nine thoughtfully designed residences, featuring spacious 2 BR 2+ BA layouts, contemporary finishes, and full kitchens.
  • An Expanded Fitness and Wellness Center – Doubling in size, the upgraded wellness facility will offer state-of-the-art programming in partnership with Revolution Wellness and Therapy, providing leading edge programming to support healthy aging.
  • Remodeled Front Entrance and Lobby – A redesigned and modernized front entrance and lobby will create a warm and inviting first impression, improving accessibility and flow while reinforcing Bayview’s commitment to hospitality and design excellence.
  • New Second-Floor Resident Lounge – A vibrant new resident space on the second floor will serve as a gathering hub for socializing, events, and relaxation—designed with comfort and community-building in mind.
  • Relocated Dog Park and Bistro – The dog park will move to a more convenient location, making it easier for residents and their furry companions to enjoy the outdoors. The Bistro, Bayview’s second dining venue will move to Bayview’s iconic 10th floor—known for its spectacular views—to elevate the dining and social experience.

“This expansion is the next step forward in continuing Bayview’s mission of Transforming the Experience of Aging to Deliver Life’s Potential,” said Nancy Weinbeck, CEO of Bayview. “Phase II not only enhances the quality of life for our residents today but also ensures we continue to serve future generations with innovation, care, and community at the heart of everything we do.”

A Groundbreaking Ceremony will take place on Wednesday, July 9 at 1 pm at Bayview. With a trusted team at the helm—Rice Fergus Miller, Architects; RDH Building Science, Project Management, and Aldrich, General Contractor—construction is set to begin in July 2025, with phased completion anticipated over the following 12 months.
