About Good Shepherd Center

The Good Shepherd Center

The Good Shepherd Center is an outstanding example of historic preservation in action. One of Historic Seattle's first development projects, the former Home of the Good Shepherd for young girls was acquired from the City of Seattle in 1975. Over the years, we have been caring stewards of the property and grounds and invested over five million dollars in building and site improvements. Historic Seattle operates the Good Shepherd Center as a self-sustaining multi-purpose community center housing the Wallingford Community Senior Center, nonprofit organizations including Seattle Tilth, for profit services, and Meridian School, a K-5 school. Six affordable artist live/work studios were opened in spring of 2002 in an unused attic space. The former chapel on the upper floors of the Center was converted to a performance/assembly space in winter of 2006 and is currently an active music and performance venue. NonSequitur, a new music non-profit, partnering with Historic Seattle, handles all scheduling and bookings.
