The Wilson Hotel is located in historic downtown Anacortes and is a prominent structure on the architectural landscape. The building has flourishing commercial spaces on the ground floor and upper floors that have been vacant since the 1980’s. The property is composed of two connected buildings. The original building, along Commercial Avenue, was built in 1890 as a hotel. It contains three street level commercial spaces. The second building, along 8th Street (forming an L with the older building) was added in 1926 to expand the hotel’s capacity. The addition has two commercial spaces on the ground floor. In both buildings, the commercial spaces are fully leased. The upper floors are in need of complete gutting and rehabilitation.
The project will serve
low-wage downtown workers and people with disabilities. Of the 25 apartment units, 10 units will serve households at or below 30% AMI and 15 units will serve households at or below 50% AMI. Five of the units will be set-aside for disabled tenants, including two ADA compliant units. The tenants will have access to all of the services that are currently offered by the Anacortes Housing Authority.
