Get ready for the very first Wash West Bike day! C

Get ready for the very first Wash West Bike day! Come meet representatives from a number of cycling organizations like Indego and the Philly Critical Mass Bike Ride! Get everything you need for a bike wash- we'll have the water on at the park, and soap, brushes, rags, etc to use. Suggested donation $2. Bring the kiddos any time during the event to decorate their bikes or scooters in preparation for a Bike Parade that kicks off at 3:30! This is a day to recognize how lucky we are in Wash West to have cycling infrastructure like bike lanes, and remind ourselves about cycling safety whether we are biking, or driving. More Bike Fair participants to be announced!

Can you help this family in urgent need? Non-profi

Can you help this family in urgent need? Non-profit organization HOSTS for HOSPITALS is desperately trying to help this family from Palestine. The little girl is being treated at CHOP, and has been away from her mom for a while. Dad and girl have been at Ronald McDonald House, but they cannot accommodate the family. I am told that they may stop treatment if they do not find housing! A guest bedroom, an Airbnb, empty apartment, inlaw suite, any private, available space could help this family. Leaving town for a week? They could stay at your place! Any amount of time you could host may help! To volunteer and find out exactly how this works please contact

With thanks to our members, donors, and the work of the Preservation Committee, the WSWCA is proud to announce we have met our fundraising goal of $13,500 towards the re-writing and re-submission of the Washington Square West Historic District!

Join the Zoning Committee of the WSWCA next Tuesday, June 28th at 7pm via Zoom for our monthly zoning meeting. This could be interesting! The only applicant this month is 800-838 Market Street... Which is a parking lot. You might know it as the Disney Hole. Don't get too excited, because it's staying a parking lot. However, this will be the first of what is an annual zoning review for this parcel which has a special requirement to have it's zoning as a parking lot reviewed every year. The Washington Square West RCO district now extends all the way to the south side of Market Street! And this will be the first year our zoning committee will review it.
