DiscNW staff has processed the data collected from the discussions that occurred at the October 26 Youth Summit. The results are now available for viewing on the Youth Summit event page.

The DiscNW staff and Board of Directors are currently using these reports to develop an official strategic document for youth, which will be available for public viewing by the end of the year.

Proposition 2, the Seattle Parks and Green Spaces Levy, passed with over 58% of the vote. The levy will provide funding for the conversion of the play surface at four field sites from sand to synthetic turf (Genesee #1, Delridge, Lower Woodland #2 and Lower Woodland #7), and for new lights at one field (Lower Woodland #7). The Levy will also provide for a number of other improvements that might affect your community. Click here to learn how the Levy funds will be allocated to projects throughout Seattle.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the campaign, especially Dave Dreher, Bill Farmer, Wynne Scherf, Erica & Wayne Ohlrich, and Andy Fuller.
