Got a future preschooler in the house? Or a future college student? Education-related events are a big part of the highlights for today/tonight, from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

RENTAL REGULATIONS: City-organized workshop at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center, 1-3 pm, open to all but mostly geared toward information that rental properties’ owners need to know about the newest city regulations. (4408 Delridge Way SW)

SSC ADMISSIONS WORKSHOP: Planning to study at South Seattle College (WSB sponsor)? 2-3:30 pm, get help with the process in this workshop at the SSC library. (6000 16th SW)

GET HELP WRITING COLLEGE ESSAYS: It’s college-application time and 11th/12th graders who are applying can get essay help today (and next Monday) with the Bureau of Fearless Ideas in Room 252B at Chief Sealth International High School, 4-6:30 pm. (2600 SW Thistle)

A CHILD BECOMES PRESCHOOL OPEN HOUSE: 6-8 pm, prospective families are welcome to visit A Child Becomes Preschool (WSB sponsor) to see the school and meet staff during tonight’s open house. (4320 SW Hill)

jeesh, this city; so how were people (everyone in West Seattle) informed that this city-led workshop about rental regulations, “open to everyone”, was even happening?

I don’t recall how we found it – whether someone sent us an announcement, or whether I happened onto it somewhere – in our attempt to keep the most comprehensive West Seattle event calendar, we patrol a variety of websites and newsletters as well as encouraging entities both public and private to send us announcements. It’s been in our calendar since mid-October.

not blaming you, it’s the damn city’s horrible job of outreach; this topic that impacts more than 50% of Seattle residents who are renters, with so many critical changes to rules for renters, should have had way better outreach by the city; thanks for finding and posting so I have more evidence of how the city doesn’t let the public know about important events; but as we know all too well, they will “check the box” and present at a city council meeting, patting themselves on the back, about their supposed community outreach; as a renter and citizen who just wants to be informed, and really wants everyone in the community to be informed, this gets so old; and I totally understand how frustrating this has to be for you trying to provide timely important info

Sorry, comment time is over.
