A committee has been formed in Wallingford called WUMP!

The Wallingford Urban Mural Project (aka WUMP!) is a vehicle for bringing artistic talent, local community organizations, and Wallingford neighbors together. Murals create awareness and an appreciation for visual arts, as well as a sense of pride and connection within and throughout the broader community. Through a series of Public Murals, WUMP! aims to enhance the environment and feed the cultural soul of the Wallingford neighborhood.

Sound cool? Want to help out?

•     We are in need of a videographer to document this project.
•     We are also looking for walls in Wallingford to put murals on.
•     A website will be underway soon — anyone who wants to volunteer to help with that would be much appreciated!

Please contact Colleen Kurke at cllnkur@yahoo.com if you can assist!

Chamber member Seattle Bank is once again participating in the”Stuff the Bus” charity donation campaign. This campaign ends as of August 21st, so donate today!

Every summer Communities in Schools of Seattle teams up with corporate, non-profit, and faith-based partners from across the Seattle Metropolitan Area to embark on one of their most ambitious and successful projects, Stuff the Bus.

From June through August, CISS collaborates with community partners, like you, to collect basic school supplies for K-12 public school students. At the end of the summer thousands of supplies are given directly to Seattle public schools to distribute to low-income students. By providing these basic needs at the start of each school year, we effectively eliminate a significant barrier that keeps students from staying in school and achieving a successful future.

Bring your donations to Seattle Bank from now until August 21st and help Stuff the Bus!
