Northwest Center is opening a new child care center in King County's Chinook Building in downtown Seattle. The space is at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Terrace Street. It has five classrooms, a rooftop playground and an indoor “motor room” for children to play in. It will accommodate 60 children from infant through pre-kindergarten, with 20 percent of the spaces reserved for children whose families earn below 80 percent of the greater Seattle area median income. Children with developmental delays and disabilities will be given priority. Northwest Center provides Birth-to-Three Early Intervention Services for children with developmental delays, and was selected by King County as the childcare provider after a request for proposal process in 2009. The majority of tenant improvements were paid for by Seattle's Child Care Bonus Program.
