Community Center Levy Program

In 1999, Seattle voters approved a renewal of the 1991 Community Centers and Seattle Center Levy, renewing Seattle Parks and Recreation’s commitment to renovate and expand old facilities and provide new centers. The levy totals $72 million spread over eight years. The nine community center and two neighborhood projects will receive a total of $36 million from the levy.

THE LEVY WILL...

• Bring some existing public buildings up to code and make them safe
• Renovate old spaces to meet today’s needs
• Expand community centers to provide more program space for children and youth, families, seniors and festivals
• Make our centers accessible to all, including the disabled
• Build new centers in areas currently under served
