With the adoption of the 2011-2012 City Budget in November, Seattle Department
of Neighborhoods (DON) has made changes to programs and services - the
Neighborhood District Coordinators Program and the Neighborhood Service
Centers (NSCs).
Six Neighborhood Service Centers closed Dec. 30, 2010, and three Neighborhood
District Coordinator positions were cut effective Jan. 4, 2011. The Greenwood
Neighborhood Service Center closed effective January 1. Neighborhood District
Coordinator Rob Mattson now serves NW District Council, and can be reached
