Cara Brown, Recreation Coordinator

Laurelhurst Community Center

The Laurelhurst Community Center once again has a dedicated Recreation Coordinator.   

Cara Brown has been transferred back to the Laurelhurst Community Center, after being moved to another Community Center for about a year. 

Cara previously worked for the Laurelhurst Community Center for several years as the Recreation Coordinator. Her responsibilities include coordinating the daily operations of the community center, overseeing all programs as well as creating new programs and activities for the community.

Cara told the Laurelhurst Blog Staff:

I wanted to reach out and let the neighborhood know that I have been transferred back to Laurelhurst CC.  I enjoyed my time at Meadowbrook CC, but I am thrilled to back and working with the Laurelhurst community! 

Now that I am back, I would like to engage our community and let them know what we have to offer them as well as find out what we CAN offer them in the future months. I am passionate about recreation and building community and welcome input on what the needs and desires of  the residents are.    

I would like to encourage families to please let us know if they have a program or event idea that they would like to see offered at the community center.  I am looking for fresh ideas for programs, special events and activities that will bring your friends, neighbors and community members together. 

Feel free to email me directly with any ideas for new programming that we can offer that would be wonderful.

Cara will continue the special events that have long been traditions in the neighborhood along with the support of  volunteers and the Lifelong Recreation staff,  who will continue to be housed on the lower floor of the Community Center. 

Cara, graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in Recreation, and has  worked previously at the Northgate and Magnolia Community Centers as Assistant Coordinator and before that worked for the Snohomish County and Whatcom County Boys and Girls Clubs.
