Today, on First Responders Day, we honor the incredible first responders who serve our communities with courage, skill, and compassion every day.

We’re especially grateful for our local partners at Medic One Foundation, whose lifesaving work helps ensure our region’s pre-hospital emergency care is among the best in the nation. Their commitment to training, innovation, and support makes all the difference when every second counts.

It’s an honor to stand alongside organizations like Medic One Foundation in recognizing and supporting the extraordinary professionals who answer the call when it matters most.

It’s not every day we get to celebrate a 33-year milestone! 🌟

Ngoc Vu—affectionately known across campus as Mama Vu—recently celebrated 33 incredible years with the Emerald Heights Environmental Services team. Now serving as our EVS Lead, her warmth, kindness, and joyful spirit have touched the hearts of residents and team members alike.

We were so honored to gather together to celebrate Mama Vu, share stories, enjoy some delicious treats, and reflect on the countless ways she has made Emerald Heights such a special place to call home.

Thank you, Mama Vu, for your unwavering dedication and the light you bring to our community every single day!

Residents recently enjoyed a day at The Center for Wooden Boats, followed by a beautiful sail with Lake Union Charters & Adventures aboard the historic Lavengro, a wooden gaff-rigged schooner built in 1926.
