El Centro de la Raza is among 13 Seattle cultural organizations and two historic theater buildings to receive funding for needed improvements.

Mayor Mike McGinn announced the investments yesterday, saying “Upgrading aging facilities can help these institutions focus on maintaining their programs and bringing arts and culture to the people.”

El Centro’s $35,000 grant will pay for an elevator upgrade for safety and ADA compliance. The project will be completed during the next year.
