City Neighborhood Council
The City Neighborhood Council (CNC) is a citizen-led advisory group, comprised of
elected members from each of the City’s 13 Districts, organized under the
authority of Seattle City Council Resolution 27709
(Establishment of Neighborhood Planning and Assistance Program) in October, 1987.
Subsequent resolutions have refined or altered this initial resolution. They are
Resolution 28115 (Amendment to Promote Diversity) December,
1989; Resolution 28948 (Neighborhood District Representation
on the City Neighborhood Council) in July, 1994; and Resolution
29015 (City/Community Partnership) October, 1994.*
The CNC's purpose is to provide city-wide coordination for the Neighborhood Matching
Fund, Neighborhood Budget Prioritization, and Neighborhood Planning programs.
The CNC also provides a forum for a discussion of common neighborhood issues and
is available for advice on policies necessary for the effective and equitable implementation
of the Neighborhood Planning and Assistance Program. Its monthly meetings are open
to the public.
*Copies of these resolutions are available in hard copy at the Department of Neighborhoods
by contacting Wendy Watson at wendy.watson@seattle.gov
or 206-684-0719.

Neighborhood Districts and District Councils
The city is divided into 13 neighborhood districts. These districts grew out of a 1987 Seattle City Council resolution to promote, support, and involve citizen participation at the neighborhood level. Each district has a District Council which is comprised of representatives from community councils, nonprofit organizations and business districts. The councils provide a forum for consideration of concerns and for the sharing of ideas for solutions to common problems. To ensure that city programs and services are responsive and reflective of the needs and values of its neighborhoods, field staff known as Neighborhood District Coordinators serve as the community’s liaison and resource.
Individual District Coordinators support District Councils. Here are the representatives:
South Region Team
