THE NW DISTRICT COUNCIL
The Northwest District Council is an organization of vibrant neighborhood groups working hard to keep this district a great place to work, play, visit, and live. The efforts of our active local neighborhood councils make living here the best it can be, ensuring neighborhood schools, libraries, parks, roads, utilities, and other amenities are maintained and enhanced for the health, safety, and enjoyment of all.

PROGRESS MADE ON PROCURING SITE FOR NORTH PRECINCT POLICE STATION
SEATTLE - The city of Seattle is making progress on securing a property
at the SE corner of Aurora Avenue North and North 130th Street for the
new SPD North Precinct site. In December 2013 City Council authorized
acquisition of 3 parcels of land for the new Station. Negotiations with
the property owners and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments of two
of the sites are under way. A surveyor has been hired to confirm the property
boundaries prior to the City assuming ownership and a hearing is scheduled
for 8:30 a.m. on March 28, 2014, in the King County Superior Court on
the designation of Public Use and Necessity to allow purchase by negotiated
settlement or, if necessary, using its power of eminent domain (condemnation).
The project team will discuss the project and building concepts with the
Seattle Design Commission on May 15, 2014. You can also visit the New
North Precinct Station project website for more information and to
