As a native of the Puget Sound and long-time Seattle resident, I am proud to be part of a local company whose communities embrace and embody the neighborhoods they serve. This is very apparent at Merrill Gardens at The University, with its close proximity to the University of Washington and all the wonderful cultural and educational opportunities in Northeast Seattle.

With over 20 years’ experience in senior living, I have had the privilege to meet so many wonderful families. I look forward to continuing to do so here at Merrill Gardens at The University, all in the same community I call home.

A Vibrant Lifestyle

Enjoy being close to a variety of stores, entertainment options and all things University of Washington, including games and events. Medical facilities are abundant and easy to access. The spacious apartments offer full kitchens and there are numerous cozy amenity spaces, including a bistro-style wine bar.

Merrill Gardens at The University shares a huge courtyard with a fountain and greenhouse with The Corydon apartment complex, creating a multi-generational enclave and enhanced social opportunities. The apartments are owned and operated by the same parent company as Merrill Gardens.

I have lived at Merrill Gardens at The University for just about two years. I am so grateful that I am here. I thought that living alone was too difficult, but I knew I needed to make a change. When I walked through the front door, I felt at home. I enjoy the people, the variety of their backgrounds, humor, attention to our safety, and healthcare during this time.

And in fact, I have made close friends. I am not particularly a "joiner" as it is not difficult for me to spend time alone; I am an avid reader. You can do whatever you want here, there isn’t any pressure and my privacy is respected. You can willingly participate in anything you want. It is restful, easy living here. I just love and thank God every day for being here at Merrill Gardens at The University.
