Fauntleroy YMCA Community Meeting

date posted: 05 Jan 2024

The attached letter recently sent from the YMCA expresses concern about the viability of the Y staying in Fauntleroy. The partnership between the Y and the Fauntleroy Church has existed for over 100 years. The Y is requesting community input into the discussion about the future of the Y in the Fauntleroy community. The Y is holding a town hall meeting on Jan 19 from 4 to 6 PM. We encourage people to read the attached letter and provide input to the Y with your thoughts about how they can stay in Fauntleroy.

Dear West Seattle and Fauntleroy YMCA Community,

We appreciate your patience and thoughtful messages as we have begun initial conversations on the future plans for our Fauntleroy Y location. As we all continue to adjust and recover from the pandemic and adapt to new community needs and norms, we find ourselves at a crossroads with how we use our space at the Fauntleroy YMCA in a fiscally responsible and mission-impactful way — and we need our community’s input and support.

We have served the Fauntleroy community for nearly a century. This location also has been providing dedicated fitness equipment spaces since the 1990s. In the heart of West Seattle, the Fauntleroy YMCA is a testament to community wellness, a legacy that began with the Colman family’s vision for the Y, from humble beginnings in 1912, hosting youth from Fauntleroy Church and the wider community at their Horsehead Bay summer home, to the evolution into Camp Colman on Case Inlet in 1966. Now, more than a century later, the Fauntleroy Y has continuously nurtured growth, learning, and camaraderie. The Y has been an integral part of the local fabric — and over time, it has evolved to serve what our community needs.
