Who should be on the Capitol Hill Seattle 1 bill?

Seattle, WALocal News

The Capitol Hill Community Council is taking a creative approach to bolster local spending, spearheaded by Vice President Charlette Lefevre from Broadway's Museum of Mysteries. The proposed community currency system would feature a dollar note that provides a 10% discount at participating businesses, aiming to stimulate the local economy. This initiative encourages residents and visitors to shop locally, thereby supporting neighborhood enterprises. To participate, businesses need only to display a bill in their doorway, making the program accessible and easy to implement. The concept not only promotes economic activity but also enhances community engagement, as residents will have a chance to vote on the design of the new currency bills.

This fun aspect of the initiative could lead to greater investment in the program from local businesses. By fostering a self-perpetuating cycle of discounts, the community currency could become a valuable tool for revitalizing Capitol Hill. Overall, this innovative solution reflects a proactive approach to economic challenges faced by local communities.
