Our Story

The Village Retirement Center was built in 1963 as the fulfillment of a vision of some Seventh-day Adventist businessmen in the Pacific Northwest. It has served seniors of this community ever since, filling a need in the area for reasonably priced, not-for-profit senior housing.

In 1973 Villa North was added to The Village family to serve the needs of low-income seniors.

In 1990 The Village added its Prestige Living option, offering three meals a day and some housekeeping services for those living in the Prestige neighborhood.

In 2006, The Village added the Estates – seven apartments with larger floor plans and extra amenities.

Today The Village covers 16 acres and offers a total of 162 apartments.

The outlook of The Village for the future is reflected in its vision statement:
