Who?
Westwood is the West Seattle neighborhood between SW Holden Street and SW Roxbury Street., SW 35th Ave. and Delridge Way SW. We are our own little "town", with a library, high school, middle school, two elementary schools, fire department station, medical services, P-patch garden, shopping center, U. S. Post Office, stores, restaurants, community center and swimming pool, and athletic facilities (Sealth/Denny Field).
The Council is an open group of neighbors working together to improve and maintain the quality of life in the Westwood community. Read our online brochure to learn more about the Westwood Neighborhood Council.

School
Our neighborhood is framed by its elementary schools; E. C. Hughes at our northern boundary and Roxhill at our southern boundary. The E. C. Hughes school building is currently empty, but it will house several schools over next few years while they are being remodeled. What will its future be? Artist studios? Theatre (it has a good stage & auditorium)? A new alternative school? Send us your thoughts at wncc@scn.org
