Investigate: monitor official notices and neighborhood activities for issues that may be of concern or interest to the Wallingford community. When issues come to the attention of WCC, we follow up and investigate to see what impacts they may have on our neighborhood and how residents can respond.
Educate: host speakers at monthly meetings on a wide variety of issues of interest to the community. This includes organizing and sponsoring special events to provide information to Wallingford residents and business. Provide background information, notices and written materials on neighborhood blogs and via the website and support city agencies doing public education and outreach for their projects.
Facilitate: Support neighborhood groups in their efforts to improve our community by acting as a fiscal agent for those seeking public and private grants for Wallingford projects, provide funding through grants, advise neighbors on how to deal with city government, and host events to support recycling and other community and environmental efforts.
Advocate: advocate for Wallingford interests at public hearings and in dealing with city, county and state agencies on issues of concern to our neighborhood.
Cooperate: Cooperate with other organizations in Wallingford and throughout our city on common concerns and goals.
Negotiate: effectively negotiate with developers, and city and state agencies to improve projects and activities which impact our community.
Litigate: When necessary, represent community interests before the Seattle Hearings Examiner, the Washington State Shorelines Hearings Board, Superior Courts and the State Court of Appeals.
Coordinate: Host events and opportunities for neighbors to come together to socialize, volunteer, and/or for discussion on topics affecting Wallingford.
