Happy New Year, Wallingford!
We hope you and your families enjoyed a restful holiday season. As we begin a new year, we want to take a moment to reflect, reconnect, and invite you to be part of the work that helps keep Wallingford informed, engaged, and strong.
🤝 Why the WCC Matters
Over the past year, the Wallingford Community Council has played an active role in:
- Representing Wallingford voices in City discussions on the Comprehensive Plan and zoning
- Sharing timely updates so residents could engage meaningfully in public comment and hearings
- Partnering with neighboring councils and community organizations
- Hosting meetings that bring neighbors together around issues that affect daily life in Wallingford
As we head into 2026—with more City planning and zoning decisions ahead—a strong, informed membership matters more than ever.

đź“… January & February Meeting Notes
- No WCC meeting in January (January 7 meeting is cancelled)
- Next General Meeting: Wednesday, February 4
Details for the February meeting—including guest speakers—will be shared in a separate newsletter later in January once plans are finalized.
🔍 Looking Ahead
With Phase 2 of Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan still pending—now delayed due to the new mayoral transition—we’ll continue monitoring City updates closely. When there is concrete news on zoning maps, resolutions, and next steps for areas like Tangletown and South Wallingford, we’ll share a detailed update.
For now, this message is simply about staying connected and strengthening our community as the year begins.
Thank you for being part of Wallingford and for supporting the work of the Wallingford Community Council. We look forward to seeing you in February.
