Disco with Deputy Mayor Darryl Smith

  • Post author:

Please come to the Wallingford Community Council this Wednesday, July 7th between 7 and 9 pm at the Good Shepherd Center, Room 202. We have lots of amusing stuff on tap:

  • 7:00 – 7:15: Hello to your neighbors plus review a Neighborhood Matching Grant for a Neighborhood Plan update.
  • 7:15 – 8:15: Seattle’s one and only deputy mayor, Darryl Smith. He’s reportedly a swell guy. Some stuff we’ll cover include taxing Kroger for the pit on Stoneway, getting a fair share of the city budget, compensating the neighborhood for the transfer station expansion, the community center / Good Shepherd Center, the neighborhood plan, road diets and congestion tolling, the 60 million dollar budget hole next year, and why we want $200,000 for wading pools back in the budget.
  • 8:15 – 8:45: Recommendations for the Good Shepherd Center advisory board, which has a lot on its plate as the economy is causing tenant shifts.
  • 8:45 – 9:00: Topics for next time around, including a discussion about 520 and carbon neutrality (scheduled for August).
  • 9:00: We all snort coke and break out the disco ball.

I've lived here since 1998. I spent 13 years at Microsoft as a developer and manager, concurrent with Ballmer's reign. I quit after seeing my third consecutive project cancelled, while my parents needed help, and my wife was getting stressed working at Seattle Public Schools. Since then, I have helped family and community while taking on side projects and volunteer work. I led the renovation of Meridian Playground, helped moderate the South Transfer Station design, helped advance the Green Lake Way road diet, and have guided several transportation and parks projects through neighborhood involvement. I wrote for Wallyhood for a while and was president of the Wallingford Community Council during the great recession, where thankfully, land use was not an issue. I'm an impatient moderate vegetarian who believes in practical win-win solutions.
