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

The results of our Fauntleroy Community Survey have been tabulated and posted. We are currently using the results to guide our discussions for the future of Fauntleroy.
The SW Precinct is seeing an uncharacteristic increase in aggravated assault incidents, with the majority of these being domestic violence related.
Given this, and nature of the last year, the Seattle Police Department would like to offer the following crime prevention newsletter focus on domestic violence- including what is domestic violence, what types of resources are available, and how to report domestic violence to law enforcement.
Always remember- if you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence or is in danger, call 911 immediately. Please also keep in mind that you can text 911, if you are in a situation where it is unsafe to speak. Call if you can, text if you can’t!
