In celebration of Neighbor Day 2021, the City of Seattle asked the community to submit nominations for people, businesses and organizations who went above and beyond to help and support their friends and neighbors over the past year. High Point Community Builder Ella McRae was nominated by Melbourn Lagahit, a staff member from the Open Space Association. Read Ella's nomination below.
"Ella is very passionate about helping underserved communities! She is always engaged in events, sharing and encouraging community partners to do the same. If she's not in High Point, she is volunteering at a different community. Ella has only been in her position at Seattle Housing Authority as Community Builder for High Point for less than a year and has made a tremendous impact. She always makes sure that everyone in the community has their voice heard and is not afraid to speak out stand up for the underserved population. Her positive energy is also a plus!" - Melbourn Lagahit
