402 St. Helens to Go Market Rate

We attended the New Tacoma Neighborhood Council meeting this evening to talk about Community Gardens.  A little tidbit of info that we heard while hangin’ out was related to 402 St. Helens – an apartment building in the middle of the St. Helens neighborhood of downtown that… has had a few problems.  So, the community, city leaders, and the building owner had a little discussion about the building and its long list of issues.  The result is that it’ll be going to market rate housing after a complete remodel.  Our understanding is that work could begin in the next few months.  This one project will definitely change the neighborhood.
