Mt. Scott-Arleta N.A. meetings are always held the first Wednesday of every month, at 6:30 p.m., in the Mt. Scott Community Center's Pool Room.

Farewell and Thanks!

Dear neighbors, I wanted to express gratitude for the Neighborhood Association system and in particular the opportunity to serve on the Mt. Scott-Arleta neighborhood board for the past four years with such thoughtful and caring fellow board members. It’s been an honor to chair the meetings of people who are showing up to create community by working together for the benefit of everyone who lives, works, and plays here.
