Guest Speaker-Tim Durkan, Seattle Department of Neighborhoods

Department of Neighborhoods (DON) is undergoing some major changes and is in the process of searching for a new director and new direction. On 1/4/11 the Neighborhood service centers were reduced from 13 to 7. Tim’s new office will be located at 23rd and Jackson.Concerns were raised about the new office’s distance away from Fremont, and that most residents would choose to go to either Ballard or the UDistrict service centers, or downtown, instead of visiting this location.

Community feedback is accepted until July 1, 2011. Contact Community Relations Strategic Advisor Lois Maag: 206 615 0950 or
