Neighborhood Groups
West Seattle District Councils
Friday, May 09, 2008
If you want to put in a traffic circle or spruce up a play space, you may need a Neighborhood Matching Fund grant. Then, you'll need to present your project to your area neighborhood council. If the council sees merit in your idea, you'll move onto an area district council, whose members will weigh the community benefits of your idea against similar projects.
The Southwest District Council and Delridge Neighborhoods District Council funnel neighborhood needs and budget requests to the city via the Department of Neighborhoods, and offer a monthly forum for community issues. They also help rate matching fund grant projects for funding consideration.
Neighborhood groups, business interests, schools, community center advisory groups and social service agencies may have representatives attend the district council meetings. The following listing includes only those neighborhood groups represented by the councils.
