Madrona Community Council - Madrona Community

The Madrona Community Council (MCC) is an all-volunteer, community organization that has worked for decades to make Seattle's unique and special Madrona neighborhood an even better place to live and work. The MCC is a 501(c)3 non-profit (tax ID number 94-3202136), governed by documented bylaws.

Madrona Community Council Meetings - Where and When

The MCC meets the first Tuesday of each month, except July and August. Meetings are open to all and are held at the Madrona Playfield shelter house at 34th Avenue and East Marion beginning at 7:15pm.

The MCC President is responsible for the agenda and meeting minutes are recorded by the MCC Secretary. Topics typically include reports on neighborhood issues such as Land Use, Business/Economic Development, Transportation, Parking, Open Space, Community Events, Newsletter and other items of interest to the community.


How To Participate

All Madrona residents, property owners, governmental agencies, business licensees and non-profit organizations are members and - as a volunteer organization - the MCC thrives on the energy and perspective that each member contributes. The more people participate, the more the MCC can do for the community.

Whether it's serving as a board member, being part of a subcommittee or just attending meetings and events, we need your input to make sure the Council is addressing the Madrona community's needs and pursuing its interests. You can help!
