You already know what a special place our neighborhood is in which to live, work, go to school and play. A good neighborhood doesn’t just happen. For more than 40 years, Wallingford neighbors have joined together to improve and protect our community through the Wallingford Community Council (WCC), a non-profit community organization of volunteers.
The WCC provides a place and process for neighbors to engage with each other to address neighborhood opportunities, challenges, and issues. The WCC has a history of helping to shape city policies and decisions affecting our neighborhood. Topics we work on include:
Land Use:
Industrial and commercial
development of the neighborhood, examples:
Redevelopment of
the Transfer Station and the Stone 34 project
Multi-family
residential development - design quality, height and density
Protection of our
Lake Union shoreline
Amenity
development: playgrounds, pea patches and pocket parks
Transportation:
Impacts from SR
520 expansion
Increasing
east-west traffic volumes

crossings: flag buckets and crosswalks
Bike ways and bike
friendly streets

and redevelopment

Pedestrian safety
Crime
Sustainability

The WCC has monthly open meetings where all members of the community are encouraged to participate. Whether you are a novice or an expert, please join us the first Wednesday of every month, 7:00-9:00 p.m, in Room 202 of the Good Shepherd Center, 4659 Sunnyside Ave. N.
