The South End Neighborhood Council (SENCo) Strategic Neighborhood Action Plans (SNAPs) Project

Your South End Neighborhood Council is working to modernize our recently unearthed Neighborhood Plan from the 1900’s! We are working together to identify current opportunities for improvement across the South End with a focus on equity, because we take pride in our distinction as the most diverse neighborhood in Tacoma. In prioritizing community engagement throughout this planning process, we welcome and encourage participation at any level of the process.

In the first phase of this ongoing SNAPs project, we worked with UWT Professor Matt Kelley’s AMP team to develop a mapping tool that incorporates community member feedback and highlights particular areas of focus in the South End. Using these data, we chose 25 hot spots and mapped out walking routes in these areas to identify potential solutions at the ground level. Learn more about these fun monthly walks below!

Monthly South End Area Walks

Monthly walks around the South End begin at 9am-11am on the Saturday after SENCo General Meetings (which are generally held on the 1st Monday of the month). We take notes about ideas for the area and pick up litter along the way. Check out the dates below to join us for a sunny Saturday walk near you!

💚Tea for walks is generously provided by South 38th & G Street Starbucks💚
