At the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, the mission is deeply rooted in building authentic and trusting relationships with Seattle’s diverse communities. These connections are crucial for engaging effectively with communities across the city, many of which have historically had little trust in government.
Whether fostering equity in Seattle’s P-Patches, amplifying community voices through strategic partnerships, investing in community-designed wealth-building projects, or supporting revitalization through preservation, these relationships allow the Department of Neighborhoods to prioritize community needs and ensure accountability to their guiding principles of racial equity and community-driven solutions.
