A note from Shefali Ranganathan, Move Seattle campaign co-chair and presenter at WENA's October meeting:

Hi Linda and Brian.
 
Thanks for hosting me yesterday at the WENA meeting. I enjoyed the conversation and I really appreciated questions.  I wanted to follow up with specifics since I misplaced the materials I was planning to hand out.
 
Here’s the Let’s Move Seattle website for more information - http://letsmoveseattle.com/ It has lots of details about project lists and neighborhood specific plans.
 
Happy to answer any more questions you may have.

Clarifying confusion over Initiative 123 and Waterfront project

7/13/2015

1 Comment

 
Kate Martin, with funding from developer Martin Selig, has filed to place Initiative 123 on the November ballot. I-123 seeks to save a 400-foot section of the viaduct and use it to build an elevated park at the waterfront. Paid signature gatherers are currently gathering signatures to have the measure placed on the ballot. I-123 is using the tagline: "Waterfront for All", the name that the City’s Waterfront Seattle project has been using for more than five years. There is concern that this could confuse voters who may believe they are signing a petition that involves implementation of the city's current 'Waterfront For All' project. 

Friends of Seattle’s Waterfront recently sent this letter to the Initiative 123 campaign.

FOR WEST EDGE RESIDENTS!

The West Edge, a four-block wide neighborhood stretching from Lenora to Columbia Streets and from Western to 2nd Avenue includes some of Seattle's most memorable landmarks, including the Pike Place Market, Seattle Art Museum and Benaroya Hall. 

The number of individuals and families that call the West Edge home has increased dramatically over the last few years. While we have the highest concentration of street level businesses in Downtown Seattle (249!), the West Edge is also home to over 4,000 residents at last count. 

It's time! A neighborhood association will provide a venue to become informed about neighborhood developments and activities, establish our neighborhood priorities, advocate for improvements and public safety, meet our neighbors and have fun! If you live in the West Edge, please plan to join us to get involved and help our new Neighborhood Association take shape!

When: Wednesday, June 10th, 6:00-8:00 PM
Where: Friends of Waterfront Seattle, 1400 Western Ave

Friends of Waterfront Seattle is located at:

1400 Western Ave
Seattle, WA 98101

(corner of Western & Union)
