Environmental WORKS in the news. Tuesday, January 31, 2006 The Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper published "Meeting Basic Needs in Style" by Lawrence Cheek, hightlighting three EW projects that " despite the tight-fisted budgets, [are] buildings infused with details -- and sometimes big, dramatic spaces -- to delight their users." Neighborhood House - Rainier Vista, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Home, and Katharine's Place Family Housing are three examples of EW producing "buildings that make people feel good."
