Your membership in the Crown Hill Village Association (CHV) helps us conjure up a variety of programs for our community. With your support, we can continue to provide all of the quirky events and services that we are currently offering, and also fuel the many new things we hope to deliver.
Events
The Crown Hill Village Association presents a range of unique local events. Check our Events Page to find neighborhood gems, like the summer Street Festival, the hyperlocal Holiday Market, and the infamous annual Crown Hill-O-Ween festival!
Community Gardening
Our community gardeners are busier than bees, growing food in public spaces, sharing starts, building birdhouses, and donating thousands of pounds of fresh, healthy food to Ballard Food Bank! If you have a green thumb, or if you just like to eat fresh produce, our gardens are for you!
Support for our Local Business Community
Businesses are neighbors, too! The Crown Hill Village Association engages local businesses in our events and programs, connecting businesses to the neighbors who need them. We are currently building the Crown Hill Directory and partnering with our neighborhoods to build the North Seattle Marketplace.
Giving Voice to Neighbors
The Committee for Smart Growth works to engage our neighbors with City planning. When the City is making plans that will impact us, we keep you informed, and invite you to participate. We do not speak for you; instead, we help you get plugged into the City’s process.
Art is for Everyone
The Public Art committee is here to invigorate our public spaces and celebrate our Crown Hill identity with original art. We have funding for projects to beautify our village, and we pay local artists for their work.
CHV has big dreams for our village- dreams we can only achieve with your help. Some of our dreams include:
- The Edible Urban Forest: Imagine walking down the block, picking berries and fruits to snack on as you go. All of it there for you to take. Our gardeners are working to make this happen.
- Pet supports: Did you know that the 98117 area code has the highest population density of dogs in all of Seattle? CHV dreams of one day having a pet committee, working to provide more public trash cans, more public spaces that welcome pets, and more access to off-leash dog play.
- Art Events: Imagine community painting projects. Public artist shows. Art walks. Our Committee for Public Art is just getting started!
- Community Center: The committee for Smart Growth continues to press the City of Seattle for a community center.
CHV likes to dream big, and we work to make those dreams for our Village into reality. You can help! Your membership fees support all of the work of this all-volunteer organization.
