Building Haller Lake Community Together
Join your neighbors at events, civic meetings, and social meetups in north Seattle - from family dance nights to discussions about local issues.
Shop local treasures from your neighbors in the back lawn behind the Community Center. There will be over 20 vendors selling all types of yard sale and crafts items; from fresh floral arrangements, crochet items, hand blown glass vases, jewelry and more! There will also be a snacks and refreshments stand. The craft fair will be held rain or shine.
We are looking for venders to help make this an awesome event! This is a great opportunity for anyone who makes handmade goods and for those who have yard sale items lying around the home. Purge your home and make some cash on the side!
Community Events
We host a speaker each month to discuss a variety of topics, ranging from our local birdlife to presentations from the Seattle Police Department. In addition to our monthly general meetings, we organize community dance night, and weekly tai chi and yoga classes. We also have our big annual events like, October's Trunk or Treat, December's Holiday Bazaar, June's Ice Cream Social, Candidates Night and so much more! Stay up to date and join our email list to receive our Splashes Newsletter and Events email.
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 Last year we replaced most of the buildings outdated plumbing, but we're not stopping there.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.
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.
