Special Meeting

Hamilton Middle School

Wallingford Educates Wallingford meeting on Saturday January 7, 2017.

Please see the Wallingford Educates Wallingford page with the presentations given at the meeting.

Wallingford Educates Wallingford on the HALA “Grand Bargain”, MHA Upzoning, and how this impacts our neighborhood. All Wallingford residents are effected, not just those living in the Urban Village. Over the past year, the City has done minimal outreach and education to the residents of Seattle regarding the City’s rezoning plans. Come learn more about the zoning changes and how you can be involved.

Voice your concerns at two public meetings this Tuesday December 13

Attend the PTSA School Deficit Meeting, or the HALA “Grand Bargain” Open House

Go to the City’s NE Neighborhoods Open House: Rezoning Maps + City Services meeting. Carry a yard sign, wear a green scarf and speak up with your concerns!

Go to the Seattle Public Schools PTSA Community Meetings on the Budget Gap. Ask about Impact Fees!

Enough with Levies! Impact Fees now!

  • Mayor Murray and the City Council have refused to impose developer Impact Fees during the recent building boom. This missing money is sorely needed to support schools, parks, transportation, and community centers. Impact fees are collected by Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Federal Way, and Shoreline. Currently, Seattle citizens are paying for development impacts, but developers are not. Ask for Impact Fees!
  • Seattle Public Schools just sent out a notice that they expect a budget deficit of $74 Million for the next school year. To read the Letter to Families from Dr. Nyland, Superintendent of Seattle Public Schools, click here.
