@Ballardeer:

-Stella Chao now lives in S.F., she's been there for a while now.
- There are no minorities represented on the SPC.
- I'm not questioning individual character of the present members, my question has no implications (nor bearing) on the quality of work of the present members, just stating the disproportionate representation.

One of my favorite things about the city of Seattle is that it supports its neighborhoods. Glad to see our area is giving them feedback.

@pablo96 The only person I've met from the neighborhood commission is Stella Chao, the director, who a) seems awesome and b) is not Caucasian.

sounds to me like the 901 people who filled that out in ballard are the same 901 that complain on here. I could have filled that out for everyone with a few reads on the forum.
