Newport is a connected neighborhood with strong social bonds and a deep relationship with the natural environment.
The future of the Newport neighborhood is built around supporting connections between neighbors and with the natural world. Newport is home to residents from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds. Residents, business owners and visitors value the small town feel of the neighborhood and work together to build and maintain the social fabric of the area. The Neighborhood Center on 119th Ave SE between SE 56th St and SE 60th Street is a unique commercial area that contributes to the identity of the neighborhood as a tucked away gem. The neighborhood is anchored by wild areas full of life. It is connected internally and to the region through well-designed roads, trails, sidewalks, bike lanes and paths. Growth of residents and businesses is supported by transportation infrastructure, environmental amenities and community facilities.
