Solid Ground

Highly Engaged Employees

Solid Ground was originally founded as The Fremont Public Association in 1974 from the direct involvement and activism of one of Seattle's then most economically devastated neighborhoods,Fremont. Our first services,an emergency food bank, a clothing bank, an employment program,reflected the desperate needs and the determined response of a mobilized... and committed neighborhood. Over the years, as the scope and severity of homelessness and poverty have increased, so too have the services of the organization. In fact, we are now one of the largest multi-service agencies in King County. Despite these changes, our mission has remained constant: To develop and provide creative, comprehensive and effective responses to our community's needs; To offer quality human services in a manner that promotes dignity; To advocate for policies and initiatives that give all people equal opportunities and resources; and To support the efforts of others who share our vision of community. Each year, Solid Ground provides shelter, food, counseling and other basic services for over 25,000 people in need throughout Seattle and King County. Whether it's homelessness, hunger, the care needs of seniors or the struggles of low-wage working families, Solid Ground does not turn away from our community's most pressing and pervasive needs.
