Hoping folks have been enjoying the terrific Seattle fall weather. We look forward to seeing you for our first in person meeting of the season this Wednesday.
We will have a brief update from SPD on any local public safety issues and work being done by the Unified Care Team.
Folks from the Ridge to River Coalition (R2R) will attend for a conversation about the 2025 West Duwamish Greenbelt Public Survey. The West Duwamish Greenbelt is an amazing natural area in the city. It stretches from the West Seattle Bridge to White Center. The forest is a vital habitat for birds and animals. It offers opportunities for recreation, walking on trails to destinations, or simply enjoying the outdoors close to home.
All community members are invited to share experiences, connections, and ideas for Seattle’s largest remaining forest. You can also take the online survey, visit the R2R website r2rduwamish.org and click the “Share Your Ideas” button. How can we intentionally continue to improve connections and strengthen our communities?
Also talking about connections we will have guests from Reconnect South Park, they ask “Is an Alternate Future possible!?” for bringing together parts of the South Park Community.
The portion of SR-99 running through the neighborhood presents an opportunity for modernization of 1950’s era planning with future-forward reinvestment increasing public safety, mobility, and environmental health.
Other Area Happenings:
The West Duwamish Greenbelt Trails organization reminds all that there are still two more opportunities this season to take a guided hike on some of the fantastic trails already completed. You can find route and schedule information here.
