On Thursday, December 17 Seattle Parks and Recreation Superintendent Tim Gallagher will be hosting an open house for the neighborhood from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Queen Anne Community center, located at 1901 1st Ave W.

The purpose of the meeting is to give community members an opportunity to talk with Gallagher and department representatives about the needs of the Queen Anne community and whether or not the department is meeting them. Residents will have the opportunity to talk with parks representatives about what is working in the neighborhood and what can be improved, as well as with the superintendent about ideas for building community relationships through Parks programs and services that are best suited for the Queen Anne community.
