"I am against the destruction & development of the Royvue Apartments and support the landmarking of this unique community anchor."
The historical interiors of the Roy Vue will be gutted to turn 34 apartments into 147 microunits. The unique courtyard--one of the last remaining heritage gardens in Capitol Hill--will be razed. Only the building's facade will remain.

I lived in the RoyVue for three years, and it was the absolute best place to live in Seattle, thanks in large part to its beautiful courtyard, classic building and sense of history. Please save this piece of Seattle history. It is truly unique!
I have family that have lived in this complex for over 6 years. We have had so many memorable occasions celebrated within the complex. It would be a great sadness to lose all that this building has to offer just for the advancement of greedy developers.
I live across the street and just 1 block north. The proposed changes would devistating to our neighborhood! It would create a transient renter who wouldn’t invest in the kind of neighborly relationships which make our community great!
The loss of historic architectural design that this “renovation” proposes serves only to increase the shortage of affordable housing for families and multi-person households, which will ultimately exacerbate the overall housing problems in Seattle.
I taught my daughter about women’s rights and the power of demonstration in this building. We joined together with some of the strongest, thoughtful, and compassionate women I know to make signs and participate in the Women’s March of 2017 in this building.
I do not agree with the destruction of the original building.
Making this building full of micro units is barbarism. Leave it alone.

These turn of the century brick and terra cotta buildings define Capitol Hill architecture. We have lost several and more are at risk of being torn down. This is akin to tearing town Victorian townhouses in San Francisco, which would never happen.
