Typically we hold this meeting in conjunction with our Food Fest, a time to come out of our homes, meet up with friends and neighbors, share some delicious food provided by local establishments and business parthers. This year however, due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus), we elected not to hold the meeting in person in order to ensure the safety of our community.
Our monthly business meetings are typically conducted at the Fauntleroy Schoolhouse on the second Tuesday of every month (with the exception of August and December) at 7:00 in the evening. Meetings are open to the public.
WSF Fauntleroy Terminal Project
date posted: 03 Mar 2021From Hadley Rodero, Strategic Communications Manager at WSDOT
Hello Fauntleroy, Vashon and Southworth community members:
At the end of 2020, Washington State Ferries began discussions with stakeholders about how best to engage communities in the Fauntleroy ferry terminal replacement project given current realities. Now we have turned the corner into 2021, we are excited to announce upcoming virtual community meetings. We hope you can participate to learn more about why the current terminal needs to be replaced, how project plans will be developed, and how the community can be involved over a multi-year planning process.Virtual Meeting Details

Please share these meeting details with your networks; all are welcome.

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

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!
