The Coastal Commons Activity Center

Building Regional Equity through Shared Infrastructure

The coastal corridor is a region of breathtaking natural beauty, but it faces a hidden crisis: a profound deficit in accessible, multi-generational spaces. From Pacific Beach to Taholah, our youth lack safe environments, seniors lack wellness spaces, and communities lack a resilient civic hub.

The Seabrook Community Foundation makes measurable steps towards mitigating these issues and instilling dignity and opportunity here.

The Coastal Commons is the definitive solution. This planned $11.5M–$12M regional center will serve as a shared sanctuary, an economic engine, and a cultural bridge—shifting our regional narrative from structural neglect to generational investment.

"As of right now... we have nothing for our youth." — Local Resident Survey Response

Community-Driven Design

Our planning process rejected top-down assumptions. A rigorous assessment of 98 regional respondents utilized advanced metrics to ensure underserved voices were amplified:

• Net Intensity (+82%): Revealed an overwhelming community mandate for a Large Gathering and Event Hall, multi-generational social zones, and integrated children’s play areas.

• Equity Weighting: Elevated the Quinault/Taholah cohort, revealing that aquatics and senior wellness infrastructure (saunas/hot tubs) are viewed as absolute health and survival necessities by our rural and Indigenous neighbors.

Clear Programming Mandates

• Art, Education, & Outreach: Dedicated spaces for local creators, classes, and workforce development.

• Cultural & Native Practices: Integrated spaces for traditional practices, including basket weaving, youth mentorship, and tribal potlatches.

• After-School Safe Havens: Structured elementary and middle school programs.

Current Status & Project Runway

• Financial Foundation: $3.5M successfully secured toward our $11.5M–$12M goal.

• Architectural Alignment: Actively partnering with TCF Architecture on a multi-use "Consensus Floorplan".

• Systemic Partnerships: Coordinating with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and Educational Service District (ESD) 113 regarding build-site alignment and Letters of Intent (LOI).

Immediate Next Steps

1. Finalize Phase 1 floorplans anchoring the footprint in core community zones.

2. Advance aquatics engineering cost analyses to present to major philanthropic partners.

3. Launch the Major Gifts Campaign to close the funding gap and unlock state/federal matching allocations.

Pacific Beach Health Clinic

Closing the Rural Medical Gap for North Beach Families

For generations, families along our coast have endured a dangerous 30-to-45-minute drive inland for basic healthcare or emergency stabilization. We stepped forward alongside our partners to change that. The new Pacific Beach Health Clinic is actively under construction.

Fully Funded, Actively Building

The Seabrook Community Foundation has fully committed a capital grant of $873,574.07to complete construction. A unique tripartite partnership ensures total financial stewardship:

• Zero-Overhead Land: Seabrook Land Company provided a long-term ground lease for$1 per year, pouring 100% of donor capital into physical infrastructure.

• Public Clinical Leadership: Operated by Harbor Regional Health, bringing institutional excellence and a legal commitment to charity care for low-income families.

• Mission Safeguards: The Foundation holds a leasehold deed of trust to step in and preserve the facility for community healthcare if operations ever stall.
