The Mission of the STAR of Seattle is: To empower people of widely varying abilities and disabilities to build community using computers, the internet, and assistive technology. The motto is: "Achieving success, one person at a itime!" The STAR of Seattle Computer Center first opened its doors on November 1, 1999, after almost two years of work by many residents of Center Park, the Seattle Housing Authority, City of Seattle, and individuals from the community. Today, the STAR Center has 7 workstations featuring a wide range of assistive technology for lab users who might be mobility-impaired, sight-impaired, or hearing-impaired.
