The Seattle Department of Neighborhoods’ Hey Neighbor! series introduces you to the people behind the scenes working to build, strengthen, and engage the communities of Seattle.

Meet Hilary Nichols

Hilary Nichols has been coordinating our People’s Academy for Community Engagement (PACE) since 2016 and has since discovered a passion for educating communities about how local government works. She adores all the PACE participants she meets each year and is thrilled every time she sees a PACE graduate doing awesome things out in the community (which happens a lot!). After hours, Hilary can be found doodling, visiting art galleries, and enjoying Seattle’s drag scene.
