| Neighborhoods | West Seattle news | West Seattle politics

Six months to the day after Mayor Bruce Harrell announced Greg Wong as his choice to lead the Department of Neighborhoods, he’s made another announcement about Wong … bumping him up to Deputy Mayor. The announcement says Wong’s appointment follows the resignation of Kendee Yamaguchi, who had been a deputy mayor for seven months.. Department of Neighborhoods deputy director Sarah Morningstar will lead DoN while a new permanent director is sought; she’s been with the department for four years, after 16 years as an educator. Wong had spoken to the District 1 Community Network about his DoN plans just last month.

Who do we lobby to to get rid of single family zoning?

Zoning is not DoN’s department. You want to talk to the mayor, the council, the Office of Planning and Community Development. The term single-family housing already is out of the city lexicon, though – “neighborhood residential” has replaced it.

Single family zoning is a life choice for citizens that should not be taken away.

  A choice you will still be able to make if single family zoning is eliminated, but not the ONLY choice available for much of the city. Educate yourself.

  Single family housing is a life choice for citizens and no one is asking for that to go away. Single family zoning is a government mandated policy striping citizens of any choice on how to develop the land they own.
