The New 37th District Boundaries

The 37th District is in Southeast Seattle and Renton, with a single precinct in Tukwila. After last year's re-districting, its northern boundary is roughly Roy St., from Lake Washington west to 16th Avenue. It skirts the area of Capital Hill around Group Health, but then travels down 16th Avenue from Roy to Columbia St., then west on James St. to Elliott Bay. We now have the International District and Pioneer Square, along with the tip of Beacon Hill north of Holgate St. The new line goes up the Holgate overpass to 13th Avenue, including the business district of north Beacon Hill, and then comes south along Beacon Avenue all the way to Edmunds St. before it zigs and zags its way to I-5. Where Martin Luther King Way meets I-5, the line follows Martin Luther King as it curves into Renton, where it becomes Sunset, and continues to follow Sunset until it meets I-405. Finally, it splits off from I-405 and hits Lake Washington at the very north edge of Gene Coulon Park. It goes up the lakefront from there north to McGilvra St., and then west again to Roy St. to complete the loop.

Included in the new 37th District are the neighborhoods of Brighton, part of the Central Area, Center Park, Columbia City, Courtland, Dunlap, Garfield, Genesee, Jackson Place, Judkins Park, Lakewood, Leschi, part of Madison Valley, Madrona, Mt. Baker, Pritchard Beach, Rainier Beach, all of the Rainier Valley, RainKing, Skyway, part of South Hill, South Ryan Way Hill, Squire Park, and no doubt a few places I've missed. Each of these neighborhoods has a community organization that meets monthly or quarterly, and in the "old" 37th I've met with each of them regularly over the last six years. In the new neighborhoods, I'll be there soon. (If you'd like me to come speak with your neighborhood council, hit Contact Us and let me know!)

Welcome!

If you're in the International District, Pioneer Square, north Beacon Hill, or Renton, you may be new to the District. WELCOME! We're a very diverse part of town, ethnically and culturally, and that I believe is what gives us our characteristic tolerance, friendliness, and ecumenical atmosphere. In Columbia City and throughout the Rainier Valley, you'll hear Amharic spoken; in Seward Park the kids come back from school practicing their Hebrew, and their elders often speak Yiddish; and throughout the District you'll hear Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Hmong, Cambodian, Russian, and a wide variety of other languages. This part of Seattle and Renton truly represents the new America of the 21st Century, and we think that's just dandy.
