At Large Officers

Web Crowell

Webster Crowell is a neighborhood activist with a background in the arts and experience with small business, grant-writing, media and design; a Seattle for 13 years, most of them spent on Capitol Hill.
Web came here because it was attractive and busy with people who did interesting things in their work and off hours. He became a neighborhood activist two years ago specifically because I saw the housing bubble expanding and the resulting behemoth apartments deposited on city streets were inexcusable. Very few people talk reason about gentrification, there’s the “I prefer abandoned lots” crowd and the “How cheap can we build it” lobby. Web believes in the city growing some teeth and raising its standards – a Lot – encouraging better design and greater density like many US Cities. Nobody can stop people from moving here – we can prevent the destruction of classic buildings and the construction of shabby, shortsighted sprawl.
Websters goals include:
• More Bicycle amenities
• Wider sidewalks/more greenspace in place of traffic
• Better standards for new construction
• Developers being Held to the designs once approved
• Exemplary expectations for anything built on the upcoming TOD parcels.
