By: JLL The Girl Scouts' home for the last 17 years was in burgeoning lower Queen Anne, smack dab between a community church and high-rise apartment building. But, when community mapping showed how demographics had changed and they needed to be in a part of Seattle closer to the population of girls they were trying to reach, as well as a place more accessible to all of their King County members on strong public transportation routes, they moved into action. On May 24, they will officially open their new headquarters at G2. Among the innovative features in the cool "girl-maximized" The Boardroom is set up with the latest technology to allow for the Western Washington Chapter, comprised of roughly 25,000 members, to connect virtually. The Boardroom includes glass walls to allow natural light to fill the space with an applied Casper Cloaking film for privacy, obscuring digital screens to outside view. "What's happening at G2 literally lets us embody our Girl Scout motto of using resources wisely," says Megan Ferland, CEO of Girl Scouts of Western Washington. Beyond giving expert real estate insight and advice, says Ferland, brokers from JLL and Colliers were helpful in negotiating the lease. JLL's Project and Development Services team also managed the fit out of the new office, working with Nelson Architects and Venture General Contracting. "We're so excited to have girls and volunteers come in to use this special, customized space in a new and exciting neighborhood," "As a local center of youth education this space represented an opportunity for us to contribute to the greater Georgetown community; to surpass the schedule expectations for this mission was very gratifying," "In recent years Georgetown has become a new refuge for companies looking for creative space in Seattle with easy access to the downtown core, local cultural sites, restaurants, as well as numerous coffee houses and more. The Girl Scouts of Western Washington's new space will hopefully serve as a collaborative workplace environment which fosters the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of the organization for years to come," said Sonja Mirsky, Project Manager, Nelson. JLL's Project and Development Services team of Kelly Monteiro and Piper Luhrs managed the tenant improvement project for the Girl Scouts. "JLL is proud to have been involved. The Girl Scouts are an integral part of the social fabric of the community and we are honored they chose us to oversee the build out of their new headquarters," Photo Opp Alert Note to editors: On May 24 at 4:00 pm, the Girl Scouts of Western Washington will be hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate their new home—complete with Girl Scout cookies and milk and a color guard flag ceremony.
