Deficit Conditions Found and Sent to the City of Seattle

There are four deficit conditions which are recognized by Sustainable Seattle as priorities. These include: graffiti, potholes, large dumping and serious incidents of uneven pavement. These conditions are sent to the respective City of Seattle agency immediately after they have been collected. This pie graph summarizes the number of these priorities which were sent to the City as compared to the total number of deficit concerns collected. In Wallingford there were a total of 183 deficit conditions collected out of which 47 were sent to the City as priorities.  For a list of the conditions sent to the City of Seattle, please click here.
