Parks and community centers will help -- but homes with more than 1 bedroom under $1M are probably more important. We're not certain downtown is the right place to concentrate efforts to attract families to live in Seattle vs. Bellevue or Kirkland, etc..

But things like the community center do give us pause that, maybe, we were just a little too early. Oh well, up the hill with us!
