Stop Traffic in Your Street: Have a Party August 4th
Tuesday August 4 is the day of the annual Neighbors’ Night Out event. All over Seattle (and nationwide) neighbors get together with each other for an evening of food and socializing. Officially the event is sponsored by the Police Department and many of Seattle’s gatherings are created by block watch groups. However, all residents who want to know more of their neighbors and build community, whether they are part of a block watch or not, are encouraged to take part.
If you’ve been wanting to meet your neighbors and know your neighborhood a little better, but have been waiting for an excuse to get started, this is it. On the Web site of the Seattle Police Department are invitations, posters, and “street closed” signs which you can download and print. http://www.seattle.gov/police/Nightout/default.htm
There’s no fee for any of this. How many chances do you get to have your own party in the street?
