Community involvement. Find out how what's happening in the neighborhood.  Meet your neighbors, volunteer your time, and help improve the quality of life and value of your home.

Whispers newsletter.  Published periodically throughout the year and delivered at no charge to every household in the neighborhood, the Whispers newsletter is a critical part (along with this WHCCA website) of the communications "glue" that holds the neighborhood and the neighborhood association together. Creating and distributing the newsletter is a major time commitment by dedicated volunteers.  In recent years, the editor has been Kim Cooney and distribution has been managed by Lin Sanford and Judy Matthew.

If you have an idea or a full-fledged article, you can submit it on this page.

Some older issues of Whispers newsletters are currently available online. Other issues (both newer and older) will be added in the future to provide historical views of life in the neighborhood.  Adobe Acrobat Reader software is required to view these archived newsletters, but it can be downloaded for free if you visit the newsletter page.

Landscape and garden. The WHCCA manages the design and maintenance of the two landscaped entrances to the neighborhood.  Each year a WHCCA board member is responsible for hiring and managing a professional landscape maintenance company.  This volunteer is also usually responsible for organizing the Spring Clean-up each April.

Neighborhood parks.  In recent years the neighborhood was privileged to get two new public parks.  The features and personalities of each park are described on the associated page.

Neighborhood traffic. Of course we all know traffic is bad everywhere near Seattle and our neighborhood is no exception.

WHCCA email list
While the list is not being used during the "building stage," the objective of our neighborhood email list is to be enable the WHCCA board to provide important news about neighborhood events or problems. No, you won't get spam by subscribing to this list! And if you ever decide you don't want another email from the board, just reply with that request and your address will be removed from the list.
