Our Vision: Seattle Neighborhood Greenways envisions a future where Seattle's streets unite neighborhoods and connect people to where they need to go. Where walking and biking are convenient, safe, comfortable, and even joyful. Where children are able to walk and bike to school, and to parks. Where seniors are able to stay active and connected by walking and biking. Where Seattle's streets — one fourth of our total public land as a city — incorporate neighborhood priorities for play, relaxation, recreation, greenery, and community-building. Where the streets and transportation systems are truly accessible and welcoming, and reflect the needs of people of every age, language, ethnicity, gender, race, ability, and level of wealth. Achieving this vision will give us more choices for how to get around, keep us safer, save us money, and reduce climate pollution. Our Mission: Seattle Neighborhood Greenways organizes and mobilizes people to make every neighborhood a great place to walk, bike and live. Who Are Greenways People? We all are! Formed in August 2011, Seattle Neighborhood Greenways is a rapidly growing volunteer coalition representing many neighborhoods across Seattle to plan and advocate for safe, equitable, and comfortable streets connecting us to the places we use, whether we walk, drive, ride a bike, push a stroller, or move by wheelchair. We have a Core Group of about 40 people who lead 15 local neighborhood chapters, spanning the length and breadth of the city. We have a small staff of four who provide support for a robust grassroots network of highly-engaged volunteers, and a Board of Directors who focus on citywide operations as well as stay involved at the local level.
