Seattle Department of Neighborhoods hosts community office hours at The Seattle Public Library

Finding the right person to talk to in city government can be difficult. We are here to help you, and we are making it easier for you to talk to someone at the City of Seattle. From July to December, a staff member from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods will be at neighborhood libraries two days a month for three hours for you to talk to. During this time, anybody is welcome to ask questions, seek help, or share ideas.  

Meet Our Staff

The Community Engagement Coordinators are City staff members who work with Seattle residents to help them with their needs. They can help you find City resources, services, and programs in your neighborhood.
