Hollingsworth to appear at Capitol Hill Community Councils September meeting

The Capitol Hill Community Council (CHCC) marks its first anniversary on September 24, hosting a meeting with Seattle City Councilmember Joy Hollingsworth from 6:30 to 8 PM at Seattle Central College. In its first year, the CHCC has focused on community engagement, successfully passing bylaws and electing officers while navigating challenges, such as turning away attendees at their initial meeting. Hollingsworth will address her recent work on the council’s comprehensive plan committee, which aims to guide the city’s growth over the next 20 years. The council has organized multiple events, including happy hours and forums, to encourage local participation. The CHCC emphasizes the importance of community involvement as it continues to establish itself as a vital part of the neighborhood.

Upcoming events include a candidate forum on September 29 and a mayoral debate on October 21. The council’s efforts reflect a commitment to fostering connections and addressing local issues. Engaging the community remains essential for the council's future initiatives.
