Seattle Parks Foundation advocates and raises funds for community-led public space projects in Seattle.
"Really get to know the neighbors, and learn from them what makes the place tick. Gain the trust of your partners and the community so they will make the leap with you. Build honest places for real people. Be prudent and go slow, for there are swift punishments for getting it wrong. Enlist a strong board and listen to them when you disagree, but be stubborn in the big things. Invest for the long term. Remember the public interest. Don’t sell. Never boast."
—"Stim Bullitt, last of the Seattle heroes” by David Brewster, Crosscut.com, April 20, 2009
