Welcome to the High Point Neighborhood Website! Located in West Seattle, High Point is the largest master-planned community developed by the Seattle Housing Authority and was designed to be the most progressive environmentally friendly community in the country. It is situated on 120 acres in the middle of West Seattle, and is one of Seattle’s most diverse neighborhoods. When completed in 2010, it will be home to over 4,000 people residing in approximately 1,600 homes. About half of all homes will be owned by individual homeowners; with the other half rental homes. While the majority of rental homes are designated for people with low incomes, some will be rented at market rates.

This website is hosted by the High Point Neighborhood Association to help further it's mission of fostering the development of a vibrant and caring community committed to service, inclusiveness, lifelong learning, and well-being. Neighbors are invited to contribute to the website by e-mailing any of the Neighborhood Association members or the webmaster!

Making Your School Better – A Night for Parent-School Advocacy with Seattle Public Schools Administration

Tuesday February 23, 6:00 pm-8:00pm

*MEET Seattle Public School Representatives
*HEAR about school Improvement Plans
*YOU Influence Quality Schools

Limited Childcare – Please Make Alternate Plans

On February 9^th, the High Point Center will be hosting the Seattle Green Drinks event. This is a large monthly gathering hosted around Seattle for environmental sustainability-aligned networking.  Guests for the event will start arriving at 5:30 PM and some will stay until 8:30 or 9 PM. We expect a large crowd of 100 people or so.  The theme is to further introduce the Neighborhood House and the High Point Center to Seattle’s environmental community, and to seek support for our second array of solar panels.  We’ll have music, a Neighborhood House slideshow, a few docents outside of the classroom talking about the building and its services, a short presentation from Neighborhood House’s Ray Li, and an ask for solar panel donations. 

Beer, wine and cups will only be permitted within the Large Classroom. The meeting rooms, office wing and Head Start areas will be closed off, though guests will stroll through other common areas.

We may also be featuring the Built Green Association of Seattle, who was involved in assuring the high building standards of the entire 120-acre High Point redevelopment.

We’ve been promoting this through the Seattle Green Drinks website and Neighborhood House social networking sites.

Please feel free to come. If you or anyone you (21 and over) know would like volunteer, please direct them to Chris Andree, chrisa@nhwa.org or Jen Rosenbrook, jenr@nhwa.org! Volunteer tasks will include finger food preparation, ID checking, set-up and break-down, and hospitality/building security.

All the best,
