A Day in the Life with Horizon House Residents Danielle & Jack

Danielle and Jack, like so many Horizon House residents, are interested in connection and meaningful interactions. When they’re up to something fun, you’re invited to join!

Horizon House is Convenient for Urban Exploration

For Danielle and Jack, the day begins with movement. A one-hour exercise class in the gym gets them energized. Afterwards, they return to their apartment for an additional 30-minute workout and stretch. As coffee-loving Seattlites,the espresso machine they installed in their kitchen is a favorite amenity, and a big part of breakfast. Afterwards, they venture out for a late-morning walk. It’s a great time to take in views of Puget Sound and the light reflecting off the Seattle skyline.
