Project Description:
The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), WorkSource North Seattle (WSNS), and
North Seattle Community College are all state agencies that share responsibility for delivery of
employment and social services but are located at three separate sites. DSHS and WSNS are
housed in leased facilities. Customers that need services from all three complain that services
should be better integrated and consistent and that they spend too much time traveling between
the various facilities. Funding streams for such services have changed and will continue to
change. There is a need to address how services delivery can be improved as well as sustained.
To improve service delivery and address impending changes in funding, the Center for
Employment and Education which integrates employment, education, and social services in one
facility on a community college campus is being built. The facility will have the flexibility to
respond to emerging trends in workforce training. Physically co-locating the services will
provide the best environment for reducing redundancies and streamlining service for customers.
The project has been designed per sustainable design guidelines and will be more energy
efficient in the long term. Locating these state functions in state owned energy efficient
properties will be a better use of state monies.
