What is Mary’s Place?
Mary's Place is a nonprofit organization based in Seattle, Washington, dedicated to ensuring that no child sleeps outside by providing shelter, resources, and support to women and families experiencing homelessness. Established in 1999 as a day center for single women, it has since expanded to operate multiple 24/7 emergency family shelters across King County, offering approximately 650 beds. The organization offers a wide range of services, including emergency shelter, meals, housing assistance, employment services, and specialized programs like Popsicle Place for medically fragile children and Baby’s Best Start for new mothers and infants. Mary's Place also engages in outreach efforts to connect with unsheltered families, providing them with essential supplies and support to transition into stable housing
