Paradise Parking Plots: A recently de-paved church parking lot in Kent is being transformed by World Relief Seattle into a habitat space, a GSI demonstration site and a welcoming community farm for over 50 refugee families. Both projects had ribbon cuttings this year, and both projects are taking a whole systems approach to their development. Learning Objectives:
