Stories of Beloved Community

Seattle: Beloved Community Hub Since the 1960's

7/11/2016

 
By: Anne Stadler

Kay Bullitt's home at 1125 Harvard East in Seattle has been the hub of beloved community since the 60s. When she passes, the land and buildings will become a city park.
Over the years the place has housed Shrimp Feeds, summer picnics, day camps mixing children of different races and ethnic backgrounds (sometimes the progeny of folks whose countries are at war with each other such as Israelis and Palestinians). Many significant activities have been birthed there: activities that have changed the character of Seattle, making it hospitable to people of all races and national origins: desegregating Seattle's schools, improving the quality of Seattle's educational system, starting Target Seattle and other efforts for peace and denouement with the Soviet Union, Peacetrees Vietnam.

At her 90th birthday celebration, a few hundred of the people who have benefited from her hospitality gathered there once again to celebrate her and the place of beloved community she's nurtured and hosted for Seattle since the 60s.
