The 42 homes in this Seattle micro-community
are super efficient and solar ready.
T HE RAINIER VISTA Community, located in Seattle’s Columbia
City neighborhood, began as a partnership between
Dwell Development and the Seattle Housing Authority in
2010. Dwell Development’s owner, Anthony Maschmedt,
committed to building 15 homes using green building techniques
and high-performance technology that would help homeowners
conserve resources and cut costs. The excitement and demand
generated by the project led to an additional 36 homes over five
years. The last home was completed and sold in July 2015.
