This public life study will gather and analyze data in support of developing a shared community vision for public space within the Capitol Hill EcoDistrict. This project is the first phase of a larger enterprise that will see the creation of a public realm plan for the Capitol Hill neighborhood. This phase of the project will be completed by January 31, 2020.

Cal Anderson Park Alliance (CAPA) manages the Cathy Hillenbrand Community Room, per agreement with Community Roots Housing, which owns the building located at 131 10th Ave E Seattle WA. We make the space available for free for most community uses (charging a nominal fee only for events that charge participants). The room is a wonderful community asset, but it lacks amenities that some users need, such as AV equipment, reliable wifi, etc. This grant will help us purchase quality equipment and other meeting supply necessities so we can continue to make the space available at no charge for most users. The anticipated project completion date is March 31, 2026.

The annual Capitol Hill Garage Sale is an opportunity for neighborhood residents to activate Cal Anderson Park, to connect with one another, and to trade and sell their goods. Centered in the park, the garage sale encourages waste reduction and recycling. On Sunday, August 19 from 9am to 3pm at Cal Anderson Park 1635 11th Avenue, residents will become vendors of their own inventory either within the park or in front of their homes. The Cal Anderson Park Alliance (CAPA) along with the Capitol Hill EcoDistrict, a program of Capitol Hill Housing (CHH), and Capitol Hill Seattle Blog are hosting the event. Shoppers and vendors will enjoy a DJ and food trucks. This project will be completed by September 28, 2018.
