Our house consists of: 6 bedrooms, a covered front porch, newly built big back deck, hardwood floors, a guest bedroom, living room, dining room, an open kitchen, large pantry, a large basement, and breakfast nook space.

The basement has a tool room, space for musicians to practice, plenty of storage space, washer/dryer, chest freezer, mini-fridge for extra storage and bike hooks.
A community since 1970, Sunset is part of a land trust, so that means no landlord As a member, you will be a steward of the property, taking part in all decisions that have to do with improvements, maintenance, recruitment, and more. We have a duty and responsibility to maintain the house, and pay dues to be able to afford to make repairs, pay our property taxes and nurture the space and our community. The Evergreen Land Trust is the oldest community land trust in the Pacific Northwest, the board of which is composed of members of its eight properties. In short, as members of the ELT, we hold each other accountable to following the mission of providing permanently affordable and sustainable housing.
Our Values: To build strong relations with each other, formally and informally. To cultivate an intentional community of mutual aid and generosity. To steward this house responsibly, keeping it beautiful, safe, and well maintained. To create a household that feels alive, full, active, and welcoming – the center of a web for family, friends, and extended community. To contribute to collective liberation- making our space available and supportive in anti-oppression based organizing and connection. “The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free.” -Maya Angelou-
