About the Morgan Community Association

What is the Morgan Community Association?

Morgan Community Association or MoCA is a grassroots association of residents, business persons, property owners and other people who have a stake in the future Morgan Junction. These stakeholders are the heart of MoCA. Our primary purpose is to make the Morgan Junction a better place to live, work, shop and enjoy.

MoCA’s Role in the Community

• Provide information to the community

• Provide opportunities to participate in projects

• Monitor and provide oversight on progress of the Morgan Junction Neighborhood Plan

• Provide a community forum to coordinate and advocate on Morgan Junction topics with the City of Seattle.

As MoCA does not collect dues and because the officers are not paid to represent the community, the MoCA organization does not take official positions for the community. MoCA does its best to summarize what community members say at public meetings and to provide that input to interested parties.
