Location: The Compass Center at 210 Alaskan Way (at the corner of South Washington Street and Alaskan Way – look for the orange archway)
The Compass Multi-Service Center exists to be a one-stop shop full of resources for people experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Operating in Pioneer Square, three programs provide essential needs like mail services, case management, shelter and housing referral, showers and laundry, access to medical professionals, and more.
Compass Day Center
The Compass Day Center is a welcoming space where people experiencing homelessness can find rest and resources. People can seek refuge from the elements, eat meals and snacks, use a computer, and connect with a case manager. The Day Center case managers help people find an open shelter spot, search for permanent housing, apply for benefits, and they help remove other barriers to finding housing. There is on-site mental health counseling, nursing services, and spiritual counseling available through our partner The Church of Steadfast Love.
Services are available on a drop-in basis during regular business hours.
Hours Open: Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm (closed holidays)

Services are available on a drop-in basis during regular business hours.
