When you walk into Union Grand, a Vineyard Park community, you’ll notice something that’s hard to describe but easy to feel. The atmosphere is welcoming, the team knows residents by name and there’s a genuine sense of community that comes from people who enjoy spending time together.
Nestled between Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle, Union Grand puts you close to theaters, Pike Place Market, Lake Washington and some of the best medical care in the Pacific Northwest. First Hill’s hospital district means the doctors you need are conveniently close.
Union Grand is a community where people come from many different walks of life. We call ourselves a First Hill Family – and look forward to welcoming you into it.

Chef Sami has been feeding this community for years, turning out a rotating menu that moves confidently between Greek, Indian, Thai, Mexican and whatever else she’s been inspired by our residents to create. She holds a monthly menu meeting, takes your requests and has been known to recreate a dish you remember from childhood just because it mattered to you. Three chef-prepared meals are served daily, with dietary accommodation available with a doctor’s order.
Live music fills the community every Thursday and Friday during happy hours. Every Tuesday, the Union Grand Revival Band takes the stage made up of residents, staff and family members plus a cousin of Jimi Hendrix on bass.

The community itself is as varied and alive as the neighborhood – veterans, artists, community volunteers, longtime Seattleites and everyone in between, connected by resident-led clubs, a volunteer program and the kind of daily engagement that gives life here its character.
