Mayor tours North Delridge, report #1: From alley to forest

August 7, 2010 at 11:59 am | In Delridge, West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 1 Comment

We’re just back from Mayor McGinn‘s walking tour of North Delridge, and the photo above is from one of the stops – a work party along Longfellow Creek, with volunteers including Rat City Rollergirls. Other stops included the North Delridge P-Patch – where the mayor talked about budget realities – as well as the Delridge Fresh Food Spot produce stand by Super 24, and the alley behind the starting point (Delridge Library), site of a now-weekly cleanup by nearby residents who got to tell the mayor all about it. He actually spent about 2 hours in the area, with the tour preceded by a half-hour meeting with a small group of local leaders at Pearls coffee shop – as for the tour attendance, it peaked around 20 people (including neighborhood leaders, Department of Neighborhoods director Stella Chao and Neighborhood District Coordinator Ron Angeles, Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association executive director Derek Birnie and several DNDA board members, Camp Long’s Sheila Brown, local uber-advocate/activist/leader Pete Spalding, and Delridge District Council chair Mat McBride, but not counting your co-publishers, the only newspeople on hand). Many more photos and the full story later.

  1. King County Council Candidate Diana Toledo was along with Mayor McGinn for the neighorhood tour today.

    It will be nice to have Diana Toledo on King County Council, she is very in touch with the issues that are affecting our neighborhoods and the County.

    Have you seen any of the forum/debates on youtube, Diana Toledo is the best!
