Seattle Parks Invites You to Weigh In
From the City of Seattle, Seattle Parks & Recreation (note there are specific meetings targeting teens and immigrant populations):
Seattle Parks and Recreation invites the community to help plan the future of Seattle’s parks, programs, community centers and other facilities at one of six upcoming public meetings.

Wednesday, May 8th
Executive Committee Meeting from 10 am-11:30 am. No agenda yet available.
Work Session: Growth Boundaries from 4-4:45 pm. This is fairly short Work Session so I'm not sure how much of an early warning on new boundaries this might be. No agenda yet available.
Work Session: Green Building Resolution from 5:45-6:45 p.m. I am rather surprised to see a whole Work Session on this topic but this could be interesting as it seems to be a point of dispute among members of the Board. (But it seems that some Board members want some clarity around this issue that was not available at the Board meeting where it was first introduced.) No agenda yet available.
Note: there is an Executive Session sandwiched between these two about upcoming teacher contract negotiations and potential litigation.
