Along with organizing two major community events each year, the local group VIEWS (Visualizing Increased Engagement in West Seattle) is giving two other local organizations a financial boost. The report and photo are from Pete Spalding of VIEWS:

VIEWS is a non-partisan community organization comprised of local citizens creating programming to educate, engage, and mobilize West Seattle citizens to sustain and improve the quality of life and services available across the peninsula.

VIEWS hosts two events annually, the Gathering of Neighbors and the Delridge Day Festival. As part of the mission of VIEWS we believe in giving back to our Delridge community.

As part of the VIEWS mission, we recently made two donations to our Delridge community. The first was a $1,000 donation to the Associated Recreation Council at the Delridge Community Center. This donation will be used to underwrite scholarships for programming for youth in our neighborhood that in most cases would not be able to participate.

The second donation was $350 to the Emergency Hub network to purchase some upgraded equipment to make communication easier in the case of a local disaster. VIEWS has had a long partnership with the Hub network and realizes the importance of their work to our Delridge community.

If you are interested in learning more about VIEWS and the work that we do, or would like to become involved in the work that we do, please reach out to us.
