Welcome to the Sunset Hill Community Association. 

Formed in 1922, SHCA is one of Seattle's oldest neighborhood associations and has played a key role over the years in shaping Sunset Hill and Ballard.

We work directly with public officials on issues that affect our neighborhood and the city, including public transit, local development and quality-of-life issues.

Popular SHCA events include the annual Candidates' Forum, where we talk with candidates for City, State, County, School District and Port offices; our annual wine-tasting; backyard wildlife presentations; Northwest gardening lectures; hosted land-use discussions; and the Old House lecture series, hosted by the Ballard Historical Society.

Membership is open to anyone who is interested in our neighborhood. To be a voting member, you must reside in the area between NW Market Street and NW 85th Street, from Puget Sound to 24th Avenue NW.  The volunteer board of trustees is made up of voting members elected annually by the membership.

Built in 1929, SHCA’s classic, restored, two-story Arts & Crafts clubhouse is available at reasonable rates for community events, meetings, workshops, parties, receptions, weddings and anniversary celebrations.

Children await a Thistle Theatre performance in the Main Hall.

SHCA Programs Committee hosted a membership appreciation event, Saturday July 21st in the evening following the Fremont Fair and parade. A new twist on the annual summer potluck; a Chili Cookoff! Four members made tasty homemade (meat and vegetarian) chili for judging by the SHCA board members.  Attendees brought delicious salads and pies to pass with appetizers, drinks and chili fixin's offered by SHCA. A grand time was had by all, and Marguerite Davis was crowned/shirted the winning SHCA Chili Champ '08! In addition to a great t-shirt Marguerite won a free SHCA Membership for 2009! Thank you to all the yummy entries in the Chili Cookoff and for all the lovely side dishes and desserts too.

And to All - Have a great summer!
