Our Next Big Event
Join us at our annual "Candidates Night", Thursday September 10, 7-9pm. Candidates Night is where Seattle and Washington’s general election candidates come out to tell us about their platform and answer a panel of questions shaped by the community. Here is your opportunity to meet the candidates in person, and get a feel for who to vote for.
We are currently collecting topics from the neighborhood to help guide our panel. Although you might not hear your exact question asked, we do our best to ask a culmination of the most requested topics to fit within the time we have. Submit your questions here.

Capital Campaign Fundraising Project
We are raising money to repair our community center. Last year we replaced most of the buildings outdated plumbing, but we're not stopping there. Our goal is to fix the roof, rewire and paint the main floor as well as refinish the ballroom floor. Check out our Fundraising page to track our progress and learn about upcoming fundraising events.
THE BEGINNING
THE BEGINNING
On July 29, 1921, thirty-six residents gathered at the home of Ferdinand J. Hahn and organized the Haller Lake Improvement Club, citing a need for an organized voice for the community to push for road construction, street lighting, and the opening of a school. Officers were elected two weeks later, and articles of incorporation were requested from King County in a letter dated July 27, 1922. Dues began at fifty cents per month, but were halved the following April to stimulate more membership.
A building committee for the construction of a clubhouse gathered the following January, and residents were requested to invest in a building fund. The fund grew rapidly, and the building site was purchased that summer for $800 from a certain Mr. Anderson. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 4, 1922. The building was projected to cost $8000. Although the club’s board started holding meetings in the building in mid-1923, a celebratory event marking its final completion was held on May 16, 1925, at a final cost of $12,000.
