Elders' Listening Session

By alesiac • July 28, 2026
Skyway Community Elders: Join the Listening Session Shaping Your New Community Center King County Library System, King County Parks and Recreation, and Women United invite Skyway elders to share their voice on Friday, August 7th. If you're a Skyway community elder, your feedback is about to help shape something lasting: the new Skyway Community Center. On Friday, August 7th, from 4:00–6:00 PM , King County Library System is partnering with King County Parks and Recreation and Women United to host a Listening Session for Skyway Community Elders at the Skyway Resource Center. What Is the Listening Session? This is a facilitated, in-person conversation designed specifically for elders in the Skyway community. It's an opportunity to share your feedback, needs, and vision directly with the organizations planning new programs, events, and the future Skyway Community Center. Community input is at the center of this project — literally. The goal is to make sure the voices of longtime Skyway residents and elders help guide how this space is designed and used for years to come. Dinner will be provided, so come hungry and ready to talk. Event Details What: Listening Session for Skyway Community Elders When: Friday, August 7th, 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM Where: Skyway Resource Center, 12610 76th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98178 Cost: Free, dinner included Registration: Required — scan the QR code on the event flyer or contact the Skyway Library at 206.772.5541 Why Your Voice Matters Community centers work best when they're built around the people who will actually use them. Elders bring decades of institutional knowledge about what Skyway needs — from the kinds of programs that bring neighbors together, to the practical details that make a space accessible and welcoming. This session is a direct line between that knowledge and the people making planning decisions. Accessibility Reasonable accommodation for people with disabilities is available by request. Email access@kcls.org at least seven days before the event to arrange accommodations. Automated closed captioning is always available for online KCLS events. About the Partners This event is a collaboration between the King County Library System , King County Parks and Recreation , and Women United , all working together to invest in the future of the Skyway community.  Ready to make your voice heard? Register today and join your neighbors for an evening of conversation, connection, and dinner — and help build a community center that truly reflects Skyway's elders

Spring Into Giving: Supporting Hope's Closet

By alesiac • May 4, 2026
Hey there, family! Can you feel that? The air is getting a little warmer, the flowers are starting to show off in Skyway, and there is a beautiful sense of renewal all around us. Here at Women United, springtime doesn’t just mean cleaning out the garage; it means Springing into Giving. As we move into May 2026, we have some big things on the horizon. We are gearing up for GiveBig, Washington’s massive 48-hour online giving event, and we are focusing every ounce of our energy on two things very close to our hearts: Hope’s Community Closet and our Kinship Caregiver Appreciation initiatives.
