The Bigger Picture
Why Projects like Yarrow Townhomes Matter
Yarrow Townhomes totals 34,458 square feet, with a development budget of $20.44 million.
Across Washington state, housing costs continue to outpace incomes. Today, more than half of renter households and nearly one in four homeowner households are considered cost burdened, meaning they spend an unsustainable portion of their income on housing.
In King County, the challenge is especially acute. As of May 2025, the median price of a single-family home reached $1.03 million. With a typical 20% down payment, a household would need an annual income of roughly $250,000 to afford homeownership — putting it out of reach for many working families.
As housing costs rise, many neighbors face displacement, pushing them farther from jobs, schools, and the communities they call home. At the same time, construction costs continue to climb, and the region faces a severe shortage of affordable housing options.
The Housing Continuum
The housing continuum illustrates how different housing options are supported over time. Emergency shelter, transitional housing, and rental housing typically rely on ongoing subsidies to remain affordable year after year. Habitat for Humanity’s work sits at a different point on the continuum: affordable homeownership.
Through a one-time subsidy, Habitat homes are made accessible upfront and then remain permanently affordable, allowing homeowners to build stability and equity without requiring continued public subsidy. This model creates long-term affordability while opening the door for future households to do the same.
How We Build
Habitat for Humanity Seattle–King & Kittitas Counties uses a flexible, mission-driven approach to meet the growing need for affordable housing. Depending on project size and complexity, homes are built through a combination of volunteer-powered construction, subcontracted builds, and partnerships with general contractors.
At Yarrow Townhomes, homes are built through Habitat-led construction, powered by our on-site construction team alongside AmeriCorps members and dedicated volunteers. Together, this model reflects Habitat’s hands-on approach — blending skilled leadership with community participation to build high-quality, permanently affordable homes in Seattle that are designed to last for generations.
