Fauntleroy Watershed 
 The Fauntleroy Creek watershed is located on the western slope of the West Seattle peninsula.  Roughly two thirds of the 98-acre watershed consists of well-established residential development.  The remainder is natural space preserved by the City of Seattle, primarily as Fauntleroy Park.  The creek transports runoff and spring water to Fauntleroy Cove in central Puget Sound.    		Watershed Council

The Fauntleroy Watershed Council dates from July 2001, when a dozen watershed residents met to establish a venue for volunteers involved with Fauntleroy Creek, Fauntleroy Park, and other natural areas in the watershed; other interested residents; and partner agencies to work toward common goals.

Watershed Council Mission 
 As adopted in September 2001, the Council's mission is to further restoration, stewardship, and responsible public enjoyment of the park and creek.  Within that context, the Council

  • stimulates discussion and action

  • provides community input and perspective

  • serves as a focal point for information 

  • speaks with a common voice for the watershed.

Any interested resident of the watershed is welcome to participate and, by so doing, is maintained on the roster.  The Council has ongoing representation from two agencies:  Seattle Public Utilities and Seattle Parks and Recreation.

Meetings
 The Council meets every other month on the second Thursday at Fauntleroy Church, starting at 7:00 p.m.  Meetings occur in January, March, May, July, September, and November.  The Executive Committee meets between Council sessions.  All meetings are open to the public.  Check this Website for upcoming dates, agenda topics, and minutes of prior meetings.
