Celebrations will be held today for the opening of two new Seattle apartment projects in Yesler Terrace: Seattle Housing Authority's Red Cedar and Vulcan Real Estate's Cypress.

There will be a ribbon cutting from 10 a.m. to noon for the 119-unit Red Cedar at 808 Fir St., with building tours and remarks by Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan. From 5 to 7:30 p.m. there will be a community gathering and supper at a pocket park at Fir Street and Broadway to celebrate the openings of both projects.

Cypress, at 120 Broadway, has 237 apartments, with 48 designated to be affordable for households earning 65% to 80% of area median income, according to a press release from SHA.

Vulcan's website says the seven-story project has a rooftop lounge, rooftop deck with a barbecue kitchen, fitness center, dog relief area and 8,000 square feet of retail space.





Vulcan Real Estate’s Cypress has a mix of market-rate and income-restricted units.





Red Cedar is SHA’s fourth new residential building to open as part of the redevelopment.
