Tacoma’s new waterfront district earned WELL Building certification this week, making it the largest WELL-certified mixed-use development in the Pacific Northwest.

Setting Standards
The certification requires meeting 100+ air quality, lighting, and wellness criteria. Developers report a 15% rent premium for certified spaces, driven by corporate tenant demand.
Three more Seattle projects are currently pursuing WELL certification for 2026 completion.
