Songaia Cohousing Community
Songaia was first imagined over 25 years ago. Today, Songaia Cohousing is a strong, established community of 38 people in 13 homes on 10.6 acres. Songaia completed its 10-year, self-developed project in 2000—we live in modest homes with abundant land and common facilities near Seattle. Songaia is multi-generational, ages 3 to 80, with only five resales since 2000. You can also find information about the community in the Intentional Communities Directory.
Life Song Commons
Life Song Commons is immediately south of Songaia. A large, 4000 sq ft home and a small cottage are on a lush 1.3 acres of land with lawn, fruit trees, grape vines, and berry bushes.
The home is currently occupied by three family units.
