Last night, many Rainier Vista residents gathered at the Neighborhood House to discuss the Seattle Community Farm. The event was coordinated by Solid Ground, the Department of Neighborhoods, and our volunteer Landscape Architect, Eric Higbee. Eric has prepared three design alternatives for the farm, working off of the input from our first community meeting in March.
The participants from last night’s meeting gave a tremendous amount of feedback—ranging from general design favorites to compost locations and building materials. Eric will consider all comments as he prepares a final design in the coming weeks. If you were unable to attend the meeting, and you would like to share your thoughts on the design alternatives, please take a look at the illustrations for the three alternative plans (these are large images and will take a moment to load):
Alt A: The Long Table
Alt B: Old Houses Still Cook
Alt C: Under One Roof
Send your comments to urbanfarm@solid-ground.org. Or you can reach the Farm Outreach and Development team, Leslie Heimer and Jamie Robinson, at 206.694.6829
Once a final design is created, it will be posted on this website, on the physical farm site, and at the Rainier Vista Neighborhood House. If all goes well, construction should begin in June.
