Kate's Yellow House Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Kate's Yellow House is a men's sober living home in Seattle, Washington, in King County, set up specifically for veterans and operated by Kate's House Foundation. It carries Level 2 certification from the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences.

A Sober House Built for Veterans

Kate's Yellow House sits near a VA facility on Seattle's light rail line, and the property was built to be wheelchair accessible, which together answer two of the more common barriers veterans in recovery run into: getting to VA appointments without a car, and a house that does not assume full mobility. That combination is not common among Seattle's sober living stock.

What Level 2 Certification Commits the House To

Certification through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences means Kate's Yellow House operates under a published code of ethics, discloses fees and house rules in writing before move-in, and answers to a complaint process outside the house. Clinical and VA-connected care comes from providers elsewhere, and the house supplies structure and accountability.

Transit Access to VA Services in King County

Light rail access to VA care is the defining feature of this location, and it puts Kate's Yellow House within reach of King County's broader veteran and recovery services network as well, without requiring a resident to own a car during early recovery.

Kate's House Foundation's Veterans Housing

Kate's Yellow House is one of eight sober living homes Kate's House Foundation runs in the Seattle area, and the one purpose-built for veterans. Men whose circumstances change after move-in can be considered for the foundation's other men's houses in the same city.
