News & Events
Meet Wendy Armour
Wendy is a Washington State native who moved to Seattle in her teenage years. She was once a recipient of the support Byrd Barr Place provided, and it was that experience that sparked her passion for joining our team.
Our Place in the Black Maternal Health Space
Byrd Barr Place proudly joins the call for health equity for Black women, birthing people, and children. We discuss the history and importance of maternal health equity, and the work we are doing in this space.
Byrd Barr Place Block Party
Join us in celebrating our 2nd Annual Byrd Barr Place Block Party, where community and family collide! This event, which is free and open to the public, offers with plenty of entertainment, food, and Seattle summertime vibes.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Black lives, due to violence fueled by racism and the effects of COVID-19. We know long-standing institutional racism has negatively impacted our Black communities and we are calling for change, as well as stand in unity with those calling for change.
