Last week, in the Richard McIver Conference Room, we held a convening of Southeast Seattle organizations serving our community, including Adefua, F.A.S.T., the YMCA, and other community partners, to discuss opportunities to co-create and collaborate together.

The collective wisdom in the room was inspiring. It was a powerful reminder of what is possible when organizations serving the same community come together with a shared vision, shared purpose, and commitment to collective impact.

We were glad to have these people and organizations in the room with us:
Academy for Creating Excellence (ACE Academy)
ADEFUA Cultural Education Workshop
Black 4 Enterprises LLC
Community Passageways
FAST (Fathers and Sons Together)
FiveDot Architects
Global Unspoken Truths LLC
Groforma
Northwest Tap Connection (Official)
OPCD
Rainier Beach Action Coalition
Rainier Valley Community Development Fund
Southeast Youth and Family Services
Ujamaa Property Collective
Valley & Mountain
YMCA of Greater Seattle
YWCA Seattle King Snohomish
Allied8

Excited about the possibilities ahead for Southeast Seattle and the communities we serve.

💚🏌🏾‍♂️ We’re sharing some love for our neighbors at Franklin High School! Their Cheer program is hosting a Topgolf Spirit Night on July 26th, and it’s the perfect way to spend a Sunday while supporting local student-athletes.

For just $25, you get 2 hours of play, plus the peace of mind that you’re helping fund uniforms, camp, and essential team needs.

Let’s help them hit their fundraising goal! Grab your friends, form a team, and get your tickets at the link in their bio: https://my.cheddarup.com/c/golf-tournament-registration-form-65854/items

Seattle fitness just got an edge. ⚡️

The energy at the Unbound Health and Wellness grand opening was unmatched! From the live DJ, to the community turnout, to a live horse at the event, it’s clear that this isn’t just a gym—it’s a movement. 👟

We’re proud to support Unbound as they bring their unique blend of HIIT, personal training, and intentional coaching to the neighborhood. Congratulations to Unbound Health & Wellness on a spectacular grand opening!

We heard from many incredible speakers, and watched as each student received a necktie, symbolizing their transition into adulthood.

Congratulations to the honorees. The future of our city looks bright. 📈👔

A barbershop can be a lot of things. For West Seattle, Rain City is home.
We're thrilled to present Rain City Barbershop with the Richard McIver Award for West Seattle For-Profit businesses.
Owner Percy and his team have built more than a place for a great cut. They've built a third space — somewhere you walk in and feel seen, respected, and part of something.
Expert grooming for all hair textures. A room full of trust. A real community hub.
This is what small business excellence looks like when it's done right.
