Columbia City's Neighbor News

05 Jan 2012 01:05 Welcome to Week 173 of the Columbia Citizens' Wiki

Whatsa Wikli? ▼

The Citizens' Wikli is the informal e-flyer of Columbia Citizens. In one space, on one page, it pulls together the neighborhood's news, alerts, events, and discussion, drawing from what neighbors bring to the site.

Any Citizen can contribute Wikli items, and any Citizen can edit them. Read more...

And it comes together just about every week. It's our "weekly wiki" — the Wikli.

How does this work? ▼

When does the Wikli come together? All week long — Citizens can post to the site anytime. Most Tuesday nights we tie up the loose ends, so on Wednesday mornings Citizens get an alert via email, facebook, or twitter, which invites hundreds of local readers to check out the week's updates.

How do I post to the Wikli? We've got a "how-to" for that.

Is there a Wikli archives? Sure, right here.

your Wikli-fix: fresh start As we kick off another year, the Wikli resolves to get around to resolving a resolution or two. And Citizens offer a range of great ideas. ▼ more The library wants to know: how do you use their services, and what should they prioritize? SEEDArts is looking at reviving the Cinema, and you can help. Have you tried Nia? Mollia invites you to join in. Feel like picking up a new instrument? You could try the uke. Kathleen is also directing a new session of the Community Chorus, as well as a kids' chorus. Want to take in more live, local music? The Columbia City Theater has that covered. Jenn suggests you share all your favorite neighborhood photos. Mari needs help to blaze a trail from LINK to the lake. Why fight it? Take up kung fu at our new neighborhood studio. Looking to start your child out right? Bogdana's hosting a Montessori open house. In our discussion board, after a water main broke today, King County Public Health says we should be boiling our water until further notice.

Local effort to revive Columbia City Cinema SEEDArts, Southeast Seattle's largest non-profit arts organization, has announced plans to revive the Columbia City Cinema. The cinema, which featured first-run films on three screens, was popular with all of the neighborhoods in Southeast Seattle. The area suffered a great blow with the closure of the Cinema in May 2011, and since then residents and businesses have repeatedly expressed a desire to bring back the movie house. In response, SEEDArts has been working with a 10 member Community Advisory Board to investigate the feasibility of raising funds to refurbish and reopen the cinema. — jerrip

Share your thoughts with the library Do you check out books or DVDs from the library? Do you come to the library for story time, to use a free computer or listen to an author? Or do you come for homework help for students, internet access, research, community events, job search activities, or online learning? The Seattle Public Library needs to hear from you. The library wants your input on priorities for improvement in four areas: hours, books and materials, computers and online services, and maintenance. We'll also discuss strategies for stabilizing library funding. Please join us for these important community meetings. — gro.lps|nosidda.ardna#nosiddA ardnA, communications director, 386-4103
