Rainier Beach hires a Neighborhood Coordinator!!

For the first time in recent memory  a person (Patrice Thomas) has been contracted with to connect the activities, organizations and residents of Rainier Beach.

There are many, many wonderful assets within the Rainier Beach neighborhood.  Most research says that when neighborhood assets are connected that this action serves as a catalyst that ensures all residents have a greater likelihood of benefiting from them and that this elevates the quality of life for everyone, particularly those who have lived, worked, played, worshiped there when times were challenging.

Join Patrice and Rainier Beach Moving Forward to implement the actions highlighted in the recent Rainier Beach 2014 Neighborhood Plan Update. Find an area below that matches your interest and email Patrice at rainierbeachmovingforward@gmail.com to get involved.

  • Growing Food to Develop a Healthy Industry: Rainier Beach is an employment center for the agricultural products grown in the valley and is environmentally sustainable.
  • A Beautiful Safe Place: Strengthening the neighborhood through beautification increases public activity by 72%, and the more we know our neighbors, the safer we will be.
