Neighborhood Association Annual Meeting Wrap-up

Approximately 40 Crown Hill Neighbors came to our community meeting, on Saturday, May 9th, 2009. Announcements included:

  • In the long awaited first step toward official groundbreaking on the Crown Hill Park, Seattle Parks and Recreation Department has acquired the southernmost parcel of the former Crown Hill School Site. This parcel is approximately half of the site.
  • The Seattle Fire Department is leasing a portion of the piece now acquired by the Parks Department. This portion is in the ball field south of the two large poplar trees. The Fire Department has erected a pair of temporary buildings and a large tent garage which will be used to house Engine #35 and its crew while the fire station at 8729 15th Ave NW is rebuilt. This should not interfere with use of the ball fields.
  • The Crown Hill Project is moving rapidly toward closing the sale of the northern piece of the Crown Hill School Site. The appeal of the law suit against the sale of the Crown Hill and John Allen (Phinney) school sites was formally withdrawn by the instigator removing one obstacle from the purchase of the remaining portion of the site from the Seattle School District.
  • Crown Hill Neighborhood Association applied for and received 501(c)3 non-profit status from the IRS. This means contributions and memberships are now tax deductible.

It was exciting to see new people and old friends in attendance. There was a healthy representation of the next generation of Crown Hill residents with eight children.

We elected three members to the Board of Directors:
