FACILITIES
All structures were designed within the idea of Non-Permanence. We are care takers of the land, water and each other. What we leave behind is only a reflection of the work we have done while here. All structures are made out of recycled and reclaimed materials donated, gathered and repurposed from the local community.
Greenhouse & Grounds
A 65ft greenhouse provides a space for exploration and growing. A simple way to exhibit interchanging and innovative ways to living sustainably. Featuring multiple innovative ideas for urban growing and simple solutions to sustainable living. The greenhouse is available for classroom space, workshops and events.
Campgrounds
On over 3 acres of land tucked above the Duwamish River. Enjoy the surroundings of Native Seattle and solitude within the city. The Heron’s nest provides groomed campsites available for multi day events, overnight camping and car camping.
Showers & Outhouses
The Heron’s Nest provides 3 outdoor heated showers for multi day events. The showers are powered by solar and heated by propane. ONLY Biodegradable soaps allowed. Enjoy showering outdoors in a private comfortable stall. 3 Compostable Outhouses are located around the property. Sink stations located at each outhouse.
Outdoor Kitchen & Stage
The planned outdoor kitchen and covered stage will be under construction in 2024. Within the practice of non permanence a simple roof structure will provide covering from outdoor elements. The Kitchen will have commercial grade cooking equipment. Classes and events will be able to use this one of a kind facility to host endless amounts of events and workshops. A covered stage area will provide a platform to speak, play and dance the night away.
Classroom
The roundhouse classroom structure is built. Once covered, it will be available year-round for meeting space, workshops, gatherings and will provide an open space to learn!
Natural Pool
This ‘Live’/Eco Pool can provide a place to hold water rescue and dive certification classes. Within the natural pool native water plants will filter the fresh water maintaining a healthy ecosystem. The pool may be used for demonstrations and design courses.
