Tyree Scott Apartments

Activist Tyree Scott, who is fighting cancer, will have his name on a 21-apartment complex in Southeast Seattle for homeless and low-income families. The Seattle-based Low Income Housing Institute, which is developing the complex, named it the Tyree Scott Apartments. According to a LIHI press release Scott, now retired as an electrician, "led efforts to integrate the construction and building trades and shut down a number of construction sites because of the lack of black workers." He founded the Northwest Labor and Employment Law Office, known as LELO. Home Depot and KaBOOM have agreed to help pay for building a playground for children at the complex. Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander and a crew from Fox Sports Net were slated to attended a workshop yesterday on designing the playground.
