Coordinator: Stan Lock

The Westside's Neighborhood Service Centers, under the guidance of coordinators Ron Angeles and Stan Lock, serve as search engines of sorts for Seattle city services. Both have the resources available to track down your answers. The centers offer information on neighborhood events and services, city and other job availability, neighborhood group contacts, crime prevention, food banks, heating bill assistance, land use and zoning, Metro bus Schedules, P-Patch program and weatherization services. Both serve as payment sites for Seattle City Light and combined utility bills, parking tickets, pet licenses and trash tags. Travelers may also apply for or renew passports at the centers.
