The Maddux The Maddux is a 166-unit affordable housing project located in the Mt. Baker neighborhood.

SEATTLE—Situated on a site formerly occupied by gas station and dry cleaner, The Maddux represents a first-of-its-kind partnership between nonprofit and affordable housing developer, Mt. Baker Housing, and the Washington State department of ecology. The department of ecology provided $400,000 to Mt. Baker Housing to start the cleanup process last year as the developer uses the funds to clean up onsite contamination left by the previous tenants on the site.

The legislature authorized another $6.2 million to complete the cleanup work for the project and the ecology department also provided funding to Mt. Baker Housing this past summer. The funds from Seattle's Office of Housing will bridge the final gap to move the project forward.
