What is an example of good community engagement that you experienced and what was great about it?

I live in Lake City and love our farmers market and community events. Really feels local.
I walked to a local brewery and bought some pastries from the owner that he bought from a Lake City coffee shop and we talked about the weather. I got delicious local food and an ethical consumption halo.
The Thornton Creek Watershed project invites people to live alongside — or simply stroll alongside — a vital natural environment.
Haller Lake Community Club tries to build connection and has passionate people interested in making our city safe, clean, and inclusive.
I lived in the area when plans were developed to daylight Thornton Creek. My recollection was the initial developer did not want to work with the community and it caused issues and they pulled out of the project. A new developer, I think Lorig, came in to work on the Thornton Creek daylighting project that is now the Thornton Place complex and Aljoya along with the city park. My understanding is the new developer listened to the community and the outcome has been a redevelopment that enhanced the neighborhood and North Seattle in general with the mixed-use property and the open space/park as the centerpiece.
