2023 Fauntleroy Community Survey

Every two years, the Fauntleroy Community Association conducts a survey of over 3000 residents in Fauntleroy. We ask questions about current issues affecting the Fauntleroy community, West Seattle, and Seattle as a whole. This allows us to understand what is important to our community and helps the board better focus on community concerns. Any comments you have about this survey can be directed to survey@fauntleroy.net —-
