The Beacon
Alliance of Neighbors has the goal of improving the quality of life on
Beacon Hill, making it a place where
people can live safely in a caring, active community.
A member of the
City of Seattle's Greater Duwamish Neighborhood District Council, BAN
sponsors community building events. It provides a forum for neighbors
to participate with city, county, and state officials and agencies.
Founded in 1998,
BAN usually meets the third Tuesday each month, though some months
neighbors gather for work parties, potlucks, or other community
building events.
Meetings are held according to a process recommended by the city's Dept. of
Neighborhoods, where all residents have access to the agenda. Over 300
neighbors have attended.
The city's map roughly corresponds to project
areas, extending south along west Beacon Hill.
