FEIS House 1 Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

FEIS House 1 is a women's sober living home in Seattle, Washington, in King County. It is operated by Fostering Excellence In Someone, a Seattle-based foundation, and holds current certification as a recovery residence.

A Women's Sober House in Seattle

This sober living home in Seattle serves women in recovery, which keeps bathrooms, common space and house meetings single-gender under one roof. Seattle's size is the practical advantage: King County carries the state's deepest concentration of outpatient treatment providers, employers and public transit, so a resident is rarely more than a bus ride from an appointment, a job interview or a meeting.

What Certification Establishes for This Sober House

Washington certifies recovery residences through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences, the state's NARR affiliate. A certified house commits to a published code of ethics, discloses its fees and rules in writing before move-in, keeps a written relapse and discharge policy, and accepts outside complaint review. For someone comparing sober houses in a city as large as Seattle, that written record is the fastest way to separate a certified recovery residence from an unregulated rooming house.

Recovery Housing in King County

Seattle anchors King County's recovery infrastructure, and a resident at FEIS House 1 draws on that directly: county-run behavioral health services, a dense outpatient network and multiple hospital systems all sit inside city limits. That density matters most in the first months after treatment, when appointments are frequent and a car is not yet part of the plan.

Applying to a Certified Seattle Recovery Residence

Applications for FEIS House 1 go through Fostering Excellence In Someone directly. The questions certification obliges an answer to are worth asking up front: what the program fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how a relapse is handled, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. A certified recovery residence has to put those answers in writing before anyone signs a lease.
