We're Better Together
At Whattlekainum, community-driven projects are how we make our neighborhood truly feel like home. Because we share this beautiful urban forest canopy with everything from bears and bobcats to coyotes, owls, and even the rare cougar, cooperative living means looking out for one another—and safely stewarding the incredible wilderness right outside our front doors.

True Self-Governance
Whattlekainum operates under a model of complete member self-governance. We are proudly led by a member-only Board of Directors and resident-driven committees. This ensures that those who live in our community are the sole stewards of its future, fostering a cooperative environment built on mutual accountability, shared responsibility, and democratic decision-making.
