Newt Crossing

Port Townsend, WA

Newt Crossing is an inclusive, multigenerational group valuing diversity of cultures and backgrounds, as well as diversity of races, genders, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and abilities. They are committed to living lightly on the planet, and include that principle into shared designs. Valuing equity and participation, they use Sociocracy as their organizational and decision-making model.

They are currently accepting members with plans for between 6-8 units ranging in size from singles to full family. They own the land, have formed a development LLC, and have completed our design workshops with Charles Durrett.

Their parcel is on land that was historically the territories of the chalá·at (Hoh), kwoʔlí·yot’(Quileute), qwidiččaʔa· tx̌(Makah), nəxwsƛ̕ áy̕əm̕ (S’Klallam), and ͡tʃə́mqəm (Chemacum) peoples. They are mindfully restoring parts of the forest, towards healing.
