The City of Seattle likes (in its bureaucratic way) to communicate with groups of neighbors via “District Councils”. Ours is the “East District Council” and meets this Monday evening (6:30 PM) at the Capitol Hill Library.
It’s a brief, informal gathering, and is often a good way to have a one-on-one meeting with City councilmembers and other officials. This month’s meeting features:
- Brief introduction of the new DON/ Neighborhood District Coordinator for the EDNC, Thomas Whittemore
- Councilmember Tom Rasmussen, Chair of the Transportation Committee of the City Council.
Thomas Whittermore recently replaced José Cervantes as our District Coordinator. José recently retired after many years of wonderful service to Capitol Hill. Thomas has served as interim coordinator in the Central District, and on assorted Capitol Hill events. I’m most impressed by his skills and dedication, and am very happy that the City has appointed him to our neighborhood.
Tom Rasmussen has been a very diligent and effective friend of my Miller Park neighborhood, and is an always approachable friend of neighborhoods.
I would encourage you all to come and meet these two dedicated allies of neighborhoods.
(Thomas has hit the ground running. I attach a copy of his new newsletter, and encourage you to get on his mailing list: Thomas Whittemore <[email protected]> )
