"Seattle plays an important role every day in the lives of our residents--from making sure the least fortunate have a good meal and roof over their heads, to investing in parks, libraries and our neighborhoods."

-- Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels

Building our families and communities involves giving people the tools to make a better future.  A compassionate city reaches out to the people most in need, facing homelessness, fighting hunger or struggling to make ends meet. 

We’re dedicated to giving our children a safe community to learn and grow.  And we have fostered a renewed commitment to our neighborhoods, investing in parks, open space, libraries and the amenities that make our diverse communities vibrant and livable. 

Of course, we must also demand good stewardship of our water, trees and environment to combat global warming and to leave a healthy community for our children.
