Thanks to everyone who came to the forum!

Photo of Olympia city hall filled with people gathered for the Community Priorities Forum on January 24, 2026.

Last Saturday, January 24, the CNA hosted a forum at city hall to hear from our community about ideas for community projects. These ideas will inform the upcoming application cycle for Neighborhood Matching Grants.


We heard great ideas including pedestrian safety, building “third spaces” for people to gather, and sharing resources like tool libraries.


If you were not able to attend the forum, you still can fill out the online survey (open until February 1st). Find the survey, here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdcOI_5HIZGM1IEErIe2WgV7Qvq5tx9YispNS1n2tkiNqxd-w/viewform
