Welcome to the Memory Hub
Welcome to the Memory Hub: A Place for Dementia-Friendly Community, Collaboration and Impact! Bringing together people, programs and partners, the Memory Hub operates as a vibrant dementia-specific community center, collaborative workspace and training center. Spearheaded by the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center (MBWC), and located on the campus of founding partner the Frye Art Museum, the Memory Hub welcomes visitors year-round to explore what it means to live well with dementia.

A New Little Free Library at the Memory Hub!
The Memory Hub's new Little Free Library may well be the 'biggest little' free library in Seattle, standing over 8 feet tall. The library's red door opens to shelves filled with books and seasonal surprises inspired by Maude’s Garden, such as seeds, herbal tea, and more. It's a hand-built gift from longtime Memory Hub supporter Carl Westphal.
