The Central Seattle Community Council Federation represents a merger of the Central Area Community Council and the Jackson Street Community Council. The merger was formally approved in February 1967. It was formed to combine the area-wide representation of the Central Area Community Council with the intensive staff support of the Jackson Street Community Council.
The Jackson Street Community Council was formed in 1946 under United Good Neighbors (UGN) sponsorship to serve the needs of Seattle’s International Area. The “self-help” approach of the Jackson Street Community Council, in combination with UGN support, proved to be extremely effective, and as a result of its success, the Jackson Street Community Council received wide national attention as a paradigm of this type of organization.
The Central Area Community Council was formed in 1962 as a volunteer organization designed to bring together representatives from all of the neighborhood and service organizations serving the Central District. The Central Area Motivation Program (CAMP) resulted from a proposal submitted to the Office of Economic Opportunity by this organization.
The CANDC is the proud successor of these previous community organizations. While the CANDC is no longer formally associated with the City of Seattle, we continue to work to share information from City departments and elected officials with our member organizations and community. We’ve supported HopscotchCD, an occasional effort to bring joy to our neighborhoods through blocks-long continuous hopscotch courses. We’ve done candidate forums for a variety of races, including Seattle City Council, City Attorney, and more.
We are currently working on efforts to support native pollinator-friendly habitat across our diverse neighborhoods.
