Press Release August 19, 2025
After much prayer and discernment, Holy Trinity has made the difficult decision to sell the property we currently lease to Pixie Hill Preschool. Pixie Hill runs a wonderful school; we love having them as neighbors. We were blessed to be able to charge them below-market rent for the past thirteen years. Sadly, maintaining and bringing the property up to code is no longer affordable even with market rents. We regret having to deliver this news.
Under the terms of our lease, we have given Pixie Hill one year’s notice to ensure ample transition time. We continue to support Pixie Hill through their transition.
Our Lutheran theology and values remain at the heart of Holy Trinity’s ministry. We carry this message of God’s radical, inclusive love in our ministry and partnership with our neighbors on Mercer Island, the Eastside and the greater Seattle area.
