Records of activities and issues relating to the work of the Northeast District neighborhood coordinator. Each of Seattle's 13 districts had a neighborhood district coordinator who acted as a liaison between the City of Seattle and district councils. In addition, the neighborhood district coordinator was responsible for overseeing grant applications, responding to community requests and complaints, and managing the activities of the neighborhood service centers. In 2017, the department reorganized neighborhood staff to four community engagement coordinators (one citywide coordinator, and one each for the north, central, and south sectors.)

Records in this series include meeting agendas and minutes for the Northeast District Council, as well as smaller neighborhood organizations. The records also contain information and reports from various neighborhood and City initiatives and events throughout the University District, including community clean-ups, historic walking tours, and mayoral town meetings. Of particular interest are newsletter collections from such organizations as the University District Chamber of Commerce, the University District Community Council, the University Community Urban Center, and several neighborhood association groups.
