Take our survey!
Your Fauntleroy Community Association wants to know what you think! Two years ago, the Fauntleroy Community Association (FCA) sent a survey to over 3,000 Fauntleroy residents. The purpose was to find out what matters to them most, so that the FCA Board could better focus on the community's concerns. Since that survey, FCA has taken a number of actions to address issues that residents identified. This year, we are conducting a survey that probes deeper into some of the areas we asked about before, and into some new issues that have emerged more recently.

2015 Fauntleroy Food Fest & Annual FCA Membership Meeting
Come to The Hall at Fauntleroy on Tuesday, March 17 (that’s St. Patrick’s Day this year!) for our annual Fauntleroy Food Fest, in which purveyors of fine foods—local restaurants and caterers—share nibbles and treats. While you’re there, talk with your neighbors, visit resource tables, and—if you haven’t paid your Fauntleroy Community Association dues already, you can get caught up. If you have paid your dues—and you can do that now, online—just come and enjoy!
This event is second only to the Fauntleroy Fall Festival. We hope to see you there!
P.S. Please bring a donation for the West Seattle Food Bank, if you’re able.
