PATH Moving to South Lake Union

PATH, the nonprofit that works to improve health in developing countries, said it is planning to move its headquarters from Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood to larger space in South Lake Union. The organization intends to lease 111,000 square feet on three floors in the 2201 Westlake building being developed by Paul Allen’s Vulcan company. PATH, which has been growing fast since 2000, will move about 300 local employees to the new building in January 2010. Its current space in Ballard has 75,000 square feet.
