On June 12, 2020, the City of Seattle announced that it would transfer the Fire Station 6 property to community ownership, potentially acquiescing to an Africatown-led redevelopment plan more than seven years in the making. In response to the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests and rallies throughout Seattle, the King County Equity Now coalition included Fire Station No. 6 in a list of six Central District properties to be requisitioned by the community. The space has been reimagined as the new William Grose Center for Cultural Innovation and serves as an incubator for Black-owned businesses—providing meeting rooms, technology labs, maker spaces, and up to 20 units of housing for young adults.
