Northwest District Council






	The Northwest District Council (NWDC) is a forum for discussion and action on issues of interest to the people of the Northwest District. The Northwest District is one of the 13 districts into which Seattle is divided for representation on the Seattle City Neighborhood Council (CNC) (http://www.seattle.gov/NeighborhoodCouncil). The CNC is a forum for discussion and action on issues of interest to the people of Seattle. The NWDC and the CNC were formed in approximately 1989. The image to the right shows the 13 districts of the City Neighborhood Council. The Northwest District covers an area roughly bounded by 45th Street to the south, 8th Avenue NW to the west, 145th Street to the north, and I-5 to the east, but includes part of some communities beyond those guidelines. The District Councils and the City Neighborhood Council are volunteer organizations recognized by the city, NOT governmental bodies like the Seattle City Council (http://www.seattle.gov/council/). However, the Seattle City Department of Neighborhoods (http://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods) provides staff to support the work of District Councils and the City Neighborhood Council. Though the Northwest District Council is structured as an "organization of community organizations" (see list, below), it welcomes participation by all. NW District Council ByLaws were updated Dec 7, 2011. To read the full text click here.
