Formed: 1970 Established: 1972
PRAG House
Seattle, Washington,
United States
 Established in 1972, we are an urban housing cooperative that seeks to foster community and sustainable lifestlyes. We are adults and children with ages ranging from four to sixty. We live in a large fifteen-bedroom house built in the early 1900s.
We share organic, vegetarian food, although none of our current members are vegetarian. We have at least one scheduled communal meal a month. Currently we practice a moderate form of income sharing in which members pay a portion of their income to the community in addition to payments for base dues and food.
We seek to live a more environmentally sustainable and communitarian lifestyle. Title to our property is held by the Evergreen Land Trust.
