2020 Fauntleroy Community Survey
date posted: 02 Nov 2020
Every two years, the Fauntleroy Community Association conducts a survey of over 3000 residents in Fauntleroy. We ask questions about current issues affecting the Fauntleroy community, West Seattle, and Seattle as a whole. This allows us to understand what is important to our community members and helps the board set priorities.
The FCA exists to consider and act on concerns affecting the quality of life and character of the Fauntleroy community. Examples of issues and projects we have engaged in include public safety, the ferry, zoning and parking. We also sponsor or co-sponsor events such as the Fall Festival, the Fauntleroy Food Fest, the business triangle planter boxes and this year’s Halloween pumpkin hunt.
Take the Survey Your responses to this survey will be treated as anonymous and the survey results will be summarized and available for public review in early 2021.
Car Prowl Increase and Prevention Strategies
date posted: 27 Oct 2020 by: Jennifer DannerPassed to us from the Southwest Precinct
The SW Precinct has recently seen an increase in car prowl incidents in our William 2 (W2) patrol beat area, specifically on and around Beach Drive SW. These incidents are mostly occurring in the night time hours.
Here is the link to our Patrol Beat/Sector map- https://www.seattle.gov/Documents/Departments/police/Precincts/maps/Southwest_Precinct.pdf
In order to address this increase, we would like to remind our community about the following car prowl prevention strategies:
• Check vehicle regularly (especially important during COVID times)
• Never leave valuables in plain view
• Hide chargers and accessories that indicate an electronic device may be in the vehicle
• Remove garage door openers, key cards and other keys from the vehicle
• If possible, park vehicle in a busy, locked, monitored and/or well-lit area
• Install anti-theft devices
• If possible, activate alarm

FCA Pumpkin Hunt
date posted: 24 Oct 2020#FCApumpkins – The Hunt is on!
In an effort to bring some fun to the dwindling daylight, throughout the week of October 26-30, The Fauntleroy Community Association is sponsoring a community pumpkin hunt. If you search around the Endolyne/Fauntleroy area, you may find a white pumpkin – or even a beautiful blown glass pumpkin – with a note attached. Some even include a gift certificate for use at our local merchants, compliments of the FCA board members.
We hope you’ll participate. We encourage you to take your pumpkin home with you, then take a picture of yourself with your pumpkin, and post it to your Facebook page, with #FCApumpkins
Enjoy!

The ballots include lists of potential projects that were generated from ideas we have received from community, along with some of our own ideas, and projects from existing transportation and neighborhood plans. While a much larger mix of projects remain on our radar, we recognize the need for immediate action. Therefore, the lists include projects that can be completed quickly and cost less than $100,000.
