Founded in the 1940s, the Council has represented homeowners and businesses for 80 years. Based on the premise that a collective, organized voice can make things happen, the Council serves the people of the community. Our goal is to ask, understand and act on issues that matter to you.
Mission
The View Ridge Community Council (VRCC) exists to protect, enhance, and celebrate the quality of life in our neighborhood. We unite residents, businesses, and local stakeholders to address challenges, seize opportunities, and strengthen the connections that make View Ridge unique.
Broadly speaking, we focus on three areas: safety, schools & education, and community development.
Based on community feedback, the Council will work with the appropriate city, county and state leaders to address issues. We need an active and engaged community to help us know what to focus on. Please come to our meetings!
We also plan and host the annual View Ridge Party in the Park – a great get together in the early Fall for people to come together, make new friends, see old ones, get kids introduced and generally bask in the glow of our community.
We’re always looking for more volunteers – anything from event planning, to website/blog writing, to photography – you name it.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 91-6010097) serving the View Ridge neighborhood of Seattle, WA.
View Ridge Community Council is an all-volunteer organization without a commercial office. For the privacy and security of our volunteer board members, we do not publicly publish our registered residential mailing address.
