About Us

Alki Community Council (ACC), is a volunteer-run nonprofit bringing neighbors together to support life in Alki — the West Seattle beach community we’re proud to call home. With more than 10,000 residents and one of Seattle’s most-visited beaches, Alki also holds a special place in our city’s history as the birthplace of Seattle.

​

We support Alki through:

​

  • Connection — bringing neighbors together

  • Advocacy — giving residents a voice

  • Safety & Livability — addressing crime, traffic, and community concerns

  • Environment & Stewardship — caring for our shoreline, parks, and public spaces

  • Collaboration — partnering to make things better​

 

Our goal is simple:


A clean, safe, and welcoming Alki where everyone — residents and visitors — can thrive.

Join us to connect with neighbors, share ideas, and volunteer your skills and passion.
Everyone is welcome. Every voice matters.

 

​

We believe in the power of community. Together, we can create positive change, support one another, and build a stronger, more vibrant Alki neighborhood.
