Rob Mattson, long-term Ballard District Coordinator for the Department of Neighborhoods of the City of Seattle, announced his retirement earlier this month.
Since 1971, Mattson has served as an incredibly well-informed resource for citizens seeking assistance from the City. For the last year, he has served as coordinator for the Lake Union District Council – a role that will end with his formal retirement on November 1st.
Mattson has not agreed to any kind of formal farewell, but those who know him will want to at least seek him out and express their appreciation for all his hard work – all these years!
