We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get involved in your City and your community!

Here are 5 things you can do this week to GET ENGAGED!

 

Share Your Thoughts on the City of Seattle’s Free Floating Bike-Share Program: Seattle was the 1st city in North America to pilot free-floating bike share. Take a survey from Seattle Department of Transportation & tell them what’s working, what’s not, and how they can improve it.

 

Be a Voice for Renters in Seattle by Joining the Seattle Renters’ Commission (SRC): The SRC consists of people living in an array of rental housing types, to include students, low-income renters, LGBTQ renters, people with past felony convictions, people in subsidized housing, and those who have experienced homelessness. Applications due April 12.

 

Help Redesign Rainier Ave S and Upgrade Bus Service: As soon as 2021, King County Metro Route 7 will be upgraded to RapidRide. Participate in an online open house to learn more about RapidRide service, proposed bus stop changes, possible design changes to Rainier Ave S and S Henderson St, and how RapidRide can help enhance transit and safety in the Rainier corridor. Online open house closes April 8.

 

Join the Community Police Commission: Help amplify and build common ground among communities affected by policing in Seattle and champion policing practices centered in justice and equity. Applications due April 12.

 

Organize a Spring Clean Event in Your Neighborhood: Spring Clean runs from April 1 through May 31. During this time, Seattle residents come together to keep Seattle clean and vibrant. Activities include picking up litter, stenciling storm drains to prevent water pollution, painting out graffiti, and removing invasive plants. Seattle Public Utilities supports volunteers by providing free tools. Register your event online or call 206.233.7187 to receive City support.

 

BONUS:

Start Your Own Community Emergency Hub: Apply for a Community Emergency Hub-in-a-Box and get the essential materials and supplies your community would need in case of a disaster! Applications are due April 16.
