High Point

Generating community pride in an affordable neighborhood

Pomegranate Center, in partnership with the Seattle Housing Authority, has worked with residents of this new public housing development to design an amphitheater, pocket parks, shelters, and a community garden enclosed by a decorative fence. The High Point Market Garden has provided a pillar of stability during a period of transition for new residents. Each community member brought his or her particular skills to its creation, while a common vision has generated community pride and stewardship.
