SEATTLE-Several groups have lent their support to local seniors to the tune of $11.9 million. Senior Services of Seattle/King County reports this week it has received grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Boeing Co., Microsoft Corp. and The Seattle Foundation.

All four donations will help build a senior center and 25 low-income, senior housing units in Belltown. Plans for the new Belltown facility have been developed and refined during the past 18 months.

“Our capital campaign is energized, and we are off and running,” says Jan Knutson, president and chief executive officer of Senior Services. “These gifts represent a positive and affirming message that seniors are family in this community, and that seniors matter. Due to the generosity of these four philanthropic leaders, we have now achieved 56% toward our total campaign goal and we will soon be able to break ground.”
