Do you notice something different in the picture?
It’s the new sign!
As shared last year, Lake City Collective was one of two community organizations that traveled to Denver with City staff to represent Seattle in the national All-America Award contest.

After our team received the prestigious award, LCC advocated for a sign to be installed as you enter Seattle at our beloved community of Little Brook.

This is more than a sign; it’s a symbol of the contributions that you, I, and all of us make through honest, hard work to our city and region.
For LCC also means perseverance, teamwork, and the classic underdog story, our story.

Thanks again to those of you who made this historic sign possible.

Seattle, an All-America City!

Installation: Seattle Department of Transportation
Seattle Team: Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, Seattle Office of Sustainability & Environment, Seattle Public Utilities, Seattle City Light, DVYC Duwamish River Community Coalition
Event host: National Civic League All-America City Awards

There are community places and moments that give us Hope. That is the case of two amazing hubs created by equally incredible organizations: and

Recently, we visited the Skyway Resource Center, a community-owned and operated hub that opened in May last year.

Today, a small delegation from the Collective attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the White Center HUB to celebrate with them and feel inspired. HUB stands for Hope, Unity, and Belonging, a beautiful acronym that we all need today.

Congratulations to our sister organizations on your milestones; you’re an example for other frontline community organizations to follow.

Before forming The Collective we participated for several years (since 2017!) in the Shoreline Arts Festival organized by the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council, now ShoreLake Arts.
This Saturday we return with this great organization at their Holiday Arts Market.
Our group of artisans who are forming a co-op, La Cooperativa del Colectivo, will be showcasing their textile art.
Come check out their beautiful art, support local artists and get ready for the holidays!

Thanks to our volunteer photographer for the wonderful pictures!
