YMCA Seattle

Since 2018, Heartland has been supporting the YMCA Seattle on a site search and land acquisition assignment to develop a major new overnight camp to accommodate expanded education programs for children and families in Washington. Heartland started the site search by canvasing every property within a two-hour drive from Seattle, leveraging our geospatial analysis capabilities, deep real estate experience and strategic thinking to quickly narrow down to a handful of properties, finally targeting an inspiring location for a YMCA mountain camp. Working closely with the YMCA’s internal team, legal counsel, architects and engineers, Heartland has helped the YMCA secure the property and managed the due diligence process. Heartland is assisting the YMCA on the financing strategy to create and preserve part of the property as community forest by partnering with local tribes, land trust and philanthropic foundations who has shared mission.
