Overview
The Rainier Beach Coalition is a community organization in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood. Its WordPress website is how neighbors, partners, and supporters find out what the coalition is doing and how to get involved, so it needs to be fast, easy to use on a phone, accessible, and easy to find in search.
Since July 2026 I’ve been the volunteer web developer for the site, maintaining and optimizing it alongside the coalition’s team.
