- **Notes:** Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association (DNDA) is a nonprofit focused on social, racial, and environmental justice in West Seattle's Delridge neighborhood.

## Sources Investigated — Not Yet Viable

### Beacon Food Forest (Squarespace, 0 upcoming events)
- **URL:** https://www.beaconfoodforest.org/events
- **Platform:** Squarespace (`?format=json` returns `"upcoming":[]`)
- **Issue:** All published events are in the past (last: October 2025). May not be actively maintaining the Squarespace calendar. Work parties (3rd Saturday) could eventually become a recurring YAML if no calendar feed becomes available.
- **Status:** Not added; monitor for future events.

### FareStart (custom WordPress, no standard API)
- **URL:** https://www.farestart.org/events/
- **Platform:** Custom WordPress (not Tribe Events); Tribe Events ICS URL returns HTML; REST API returns 404
- **Events:** 9 upcoming events (Guest Chef Nights every 2 weeks, Annual Gala in October)
- **Issue:** No accessible ICS feed or standard API. Events are loaded from WordPress post type but REST is disabled. Custom HTML scraper would be needed.
- **Status:** `notviable` (no accessible feed); mark for re-evaluation if they add an ICS export.

### Filipino Community of Seattle (custom calendar, 2 events)
- **URL:** https://www.filcommsea.org/upcoming-events
- **Platform:** Custom calendar (no Tribe Events, no Squarespace API)
- **Events:** 2 upcoming events (Mariners Filipino Heritage Night, 91st Anniversary Gala)

- **Status:** Not viable.

### Cornish College of the Arts (Localist, 0 events — summer lull)
- **URL:** https://events.seattleu.edu/group/cornish-college-of-the-arts
- **Platform:** Localist JSON API (group_id `50276813607690`)
- **Events:** API returns total:1 but empty events array (phantom/unlisted event)
- **Issue:** Summer academic lull; no listable events until fall semester begins. Already tracked as candidate.
- **Status:** Remains `candidate`; re-check in August for fall event population.

### Seattle Arts & Lectures (Salesforce ticketing, no standard calendar feed)
- **URL:** https://lectures.org/events/
- **Platform:** Custom Salesforce sites (`seattle-arts-and-lectures.my.salesforce-sites.com`)
- **Events:** 5 upcoming events (season launch, author talks, silent reading)
- **Issue:** No ICS feed or standard platform API accessible.
- **Status:** `notviable`.

### Luma Seattle calendars (authentication required for ICS)
- Checked: SeattleJS (8 events), New Tech Northwest (12 events)
- **Issue:** Luma's calendar ICS feeds require authentication (Subscribe button opens auth dialog); no public ICS URL available
- **Status:** Not viable as bulk ICS sources.
