With six people running for seven seats, voting in the Capitol Hill Community Council election is an easy choice and a good way to help support the restarted group

Seattle prepares for local elections, with Capitol Hill residents voting for the Community Council's leadership board. Six candidates compete for seven available seats, showcasing a blend of community-focused priorities. Curtis Atkisson, a data scientist, aims to enhance community connectivity and transportation. Paul Esteves advocates for citizen assemblies to strengthen local democracy, while Joseph Galagan brings decades of leadership experience. The CHCC, relaunched last summer, has actively engaged residents through public meetings and festivals to gather input on neighborhood issues.

Initiatives like the Capitol Hill Appreciates Program have begun to foster community spirit. The election serves as a crucial opportunity for residents to reshape leadership after a five-year hiatus. Engaging in this process allows residents to influence decisions affecting their community's future.
