If you read our partner site West Seattle Blog, you probably know that WSB presents West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day every year, and there are usually at least a few White Center participants. This year, the revitalized White Center Chamber of Commerce is presenting a flea market that same day, Saturday, May 12th, and it’s one of the stops on the WSCGSD map. 10 am-2 pm next Saturday, businesses (brick and mortar AND direct sale are welcome) and community members are invited to participate by setting up in the parking lot at 9834 17th Ave SW. Sale hours for that site will be 10 am-2 pm. Meantime, check out the full WSCGSD map – clickable and printable versions – here.
In our coverage of last week’s North Highline Unincorporated Area Council meeting, we mentioned that the White Center Chamber of Commerce is relaunching. Today, a followup: First, there’s a survey for WC businesspeople, about your priorities – if that means you, you can answer it here. Second, the survey results are to be announced at an open house event on Wednesday, February 21st – Miss Sheryl’s Ballet, whose proprietor announced the Chamber relaunch at the NHUAC meeting, is hosting; from the announcement:
The White Center Chamber of Commerce, with support from the White Center Community Development Association, has an open house to share the results of a survey to see what the highest concerns of business owners are, gain feedback about White Center, and to develop interest of revitalizing the White Center Chamber. All business owners are encouraged to attend, and you can come anytime between 4 PM to 8 PM.
The White Center Chamber of Commerce‘s battle against graffiti/tagging vandalism is still getting off the ground. This past Monday night, about a dozen Chamber members and community advocates gathered again at Northmart to talk about it, two months after the previous meeting (WCN coverage here).
Dr. Kathleen Paulson from Cascade Heights Veterinary Clinic (9832 15th SW) led the meeting. Her clinic has forms that residents and business owners can use to identify graffiti vandalism and take to McLendon Hardware (10210 16th SW) to get the Chamber-arranged discount on paint and other supplies to get rid of it. The Chamber also is working to find a go-to person who can be contacted directly to go paint out vandalism when it’s reported, and to locate a storage area for paint and supplies that person will be able to deploy.
As for current trouble spots, the alley east of the east side of the heart of 16th, between Roxbury and SW 98th, was mentioned by several attendees.
Mac’s Triangle Pub, right next to the official White Center Christmas tree at 16th/Delridge/Roxbury, is one of the places you’re invited to gather tomorrow with the White Center Chamber of Commerce. 6 pm is the evening mixer there, or if lunchtime works better for you, join the WC C of C at the Technology Access Foundation building at Lakewood Park, 605 SW 108th, at noon.
Join us Tuesday for a Power Lunch, noon-1:30 pm, at 3.14 Bakery. The day’s topic of spring cleaning will be addressed by Alan Painter and Bong Santo Domingo of King County Community Services, and Marquise Roberson of WC Community Development Association. Learn how to propose a project for the upcoming Spring Cleans and how to fund a small community project through King County’s Community Service Area grant.

Tim Healy, second from left, is one of the White Center heroes honored on Tuesday at the WC Chamber of Commerce‘s annual holiday luncheon at the Salvation Army Center. (With him in our photo are, from left, Sili Savusa of the White Center Community Development Association, and the Chamber’s Mac McElroy and Mark Ufkes.) His longtime community service sparked the honor; the others celebrated at the event were feted for their contributions to public art in White Center: Michael Todd Harrison, Xavier Lopez Jr., and Amanda Schmidt, adviser to the Evergreen Art Club. You’ll see the artist honorees in our video recording of most of the ceremony:
