West Seattle residents want more businesses, better transit and less townhouses, or maybe more. They aren't quite sure about that one.

Last summer, the city conducted a survey – via neighborhood meetings and online and mailed questionnaires – of residents in all Seattle neighborhoods as part of the process to update the city's Neighborhood Plans. The results of that survey have been released.

The West Seattle Junction had the second most responses of any neighborhood in the city with 383.

Residents of the Junction said they liked the farmers market and the parks that have sprung up since the Neighborhood Plan was created in the late 90s. They said they want to see more retail stores open to mix with the current stock of bars and restaurants.

Admiral residents, of who 194 responded, liked the new businesses in the area and the improvements to Hiawatha and Schmitz parks, but could do with more parking and fewer townhouses.

The 121 Delridge respondents want improved transit and a grocery store. They were split over new townhouses, which, depending on who was asked, were either ruining or improving the neighborhood.

Morgan Junction's 210 respondents saw a strong sense of community growing but also an increase in crime.

More information can be fund in the Seattle Planning Commission's executive report on the findings of the survey, which can be downloaded with the link on the right.

The Seattle Planning Commission and the Neighborhood Plan Advisory Committee will be presenting their full findings for West Seattle neighborhoods at a meeting from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 5 at Mercer Middle School.

Residents are invited to attend and give their input on the findings. Feedback will contribute to how and when each Neighborhood Plan is updated.
