Bayview Seattle

Each year Bayview recognizes employees who have hit their milestone years of service - 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 years. This year 12 employees were celebrated with a special luncheon on our 10th Floor Cloud Room and recognized at our monthly town hall. Thank you to all of our employees for their unending commitment. Here are some photos of staff members who were celebrated:

Bayview has been in existence since 1961 and we are no strangers to the necessity of change, growth, and innovation. We are currently in the middle of a building-wide window and deck enhancement project that will bring new energy-saving benefits. Here is a glimpse of our brand new windows. Photos were taken in the same exact spot in front of the 130-year-old black maple tree. (Left image: 1961 and right image: today)

Today we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country and call Bayview home. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice are deeply appreciated by our community and by our nation. To all Veterans, we offer our heartfelt thank you. #VeteransDay2024

Stories of serendipity and generosity abound here in our community. Here is a creative way to donate to Bayview Manor Foundation. Bayview resident, Joanne, became the first donor to take advantage of partnership with Donate for Charity. Donate for Charity is a highly reputable and mission driven organization that makes donating your car easy. Read Joanne's story here: https://lnkd.in/grWVSA3a

In honor and celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, we asked Julian, Bayview's Building Operations Manager, what does it mean to celebrate and honor your Mexican culture?: "My Mexican heritage is everything to me. I'm proud of where I come from. Growing up in Acapulco with eight siblings, we were very close. My parents were hardworking farmers, that taught us the importance of family, perseverance, and always finding joy in life. I love sharing the richness of Mexican culture – the food, the music, the history, and traditions. But most of all, I carry the value of family with me. I want people to see what the Latino community brings to the table. We're caring, family oriented, and love to enjoy life together. " This month and every month, we celebrate the beauty and richness that different cultures bring in community. #happyhispanicheritagemonth

Cultivating community, serving together, and meaningful outreach. Bayview was a proud sponsor of the Lake Union Rotary Club’s Happy Hour 4 Good event last week. The event raised over $12,500 and benefitted the Lake Union Rotary Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that supports domestic and international organizations like Splash International. Splash’s mission is to transform children’s lives through clean water, sanitation, and hygiene programs. Truly, a beautiful evening supporting an impactful cause. Thanks for having us!
