Legacy House is a non-profit assisted living facility managed by the Seattle Chinatown International District Public Development Association (SCIDpda). It was built in 1998 in response to an increasing need for affordable, cultural diverse services in the neighborhood of the Seattle China-International District to accommodate its senior population. Legacy House is the only assisted living facility in Seattle that emphasizes serving one hundred percent Asian and Pacific Islander clientele. Their staff speaks over 15 Asian languages in order to help its residents communicate better and services low-income members of Seattle's Asian communities exclusively. Many of their members have been pioneers of the Seattle Asian-American community.
