Rest in power, Frankie

We were saddened to hear of Frankie’s (Francisco Irigon’s) passing on September 12th.  Love and condolences to Felicita and family.  Frankie was a fierce advocate for the CID community and social justice everywhere and he served on the InterIm CDA board for many years.  Rest in power, Frankie.

WILD Summer Program

For the last 3 weeks of WILD summer programming, we’ve focused on giving back to our community and the planet. We’ve partnered with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, a government agency that works to protect and improve air quality in areas of Washington. Through this partnership, we collected data, monitored air quality, and explored solutions to air pollution. Additionally, we volunteered at Danny Woo Garden in the CID community, gaining hands-on experience in garden maintenance and chicken care.

We hope you’ve enjoyed this summer full of field trips, community service, and exciting explorations with us!

🌌 We had the best time camping under the stars, roasting S‘mores by the campfire, and lending a hand with trail maintenance to help future hikers. We all enjoyed the stunning scenery pretty much! Every moment was filled with adventure and the beauty of nature.

TODAY! demand a Comp Plan with real-antidisplacement strategy!

“The Seattle Comprehensive Plan is the city’s 20-year plan for managing urban population growth. But right now it’s missing any plan to prevent displacement in neighborhoods like the CID and keep Seattle affordable for low-income households, families or BIPOC communities.
Submit public comments to OneSeattleCompPlan@seattle.gov by 5pm Monday to demand a Comp Plan with a real anti-displacement strategy!
Over the next 20 years, Seattle is projected to need at least 100,000 new housing units for about 200,000 new residents — nearly two-thirds of whom will need affordable housing at or below 80% of Seattle’s Area Median Income (AMI).
But the Mayor’s office removed all anti-displacement proposals from the Comp Plan. As reported by PubliCola, “a comparison between the 2023 draft of the plan and the version released in March reveals that the mayor effectively vetoed an ambitious plan to combat displacement and replaced it with a list of laws that are already in effect.”
A Comp Plan with no anti-displacement strategy is not just short-sighted. It condemns the CID and other low-income and BIPOC communities to relentless displacement — and all the harm that comes with it — for the next 20 years and beyond.
Contact the city by 5pm Monday to reject the Mayor’s comp plan and demand an extension of the public comment period!”
