As we noted in our recent report on the relatively new community force in the neighborhood, the Capitol Hill EcoDistrict, Capitol Hill no longer has a community council and its chamber of commerce is dead and gone.

Who is in charge here, anyway?

Next week, the Greater Seattle Business Association will host a “Who’s Who on Capitol Hill” forum to help connect you with people “working and organizing for the benefit of Capitol Hill.”

We’ve invited a number of organizing groups to introduce themselves, explain what they do and build connection across the community. At this event you will be able to meet the folks that manage the Cal Anderson Park Alliance, the Business Improvement Areas (BIA) and more. We look forward to seeing you there!

Another important player will be present. The event is hosted by the GSBA’s Capitol Hill Business Alliance, a wing of the advocacy group formed after the demise of the neighborhood’s chamber to help represent Capitol Hill businesses and connect its members to resources and opportunities.

The free forum takes place Thursday, October 20th from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM in the Cloud Room coworking space in Chophouse Row at 1424 11th Avenue. You can learn more and register here.
