January 16, 2025. The Magnolia Chamber of Commerce reports that the Seattle City Light (SCL) pilot program to replace aging streetlighting in Magnolia is 95% complete. Magnolia Chamber board member Dave Goodell has worked tirelessly to assist SCL, providing collaborative opportunities for community members to decide on a new streetlight model that meets environmental standards and the preferred warmer color output levels appropriate for a residential area like Magnolia.
In 2023, many Magnolia residents participated in a survey to help select the attractive “post-top” design that met new energy-saving requirements. It is exciting to see the new beautiful streetlights featuring the Ancestra fixture in a light grey color chosen by the neighborhood!
Thank you to Dave Goodell for his leadership in working with Seattle City Light, helping to guide the survey, seeking public input, and supporting our community. The result is beautiful, functional, and sustainable community lighting that improves driving visibility, pedestrian safety, and crime deterrence.
