Tonight is the 27th Annual National Night Out, and Seattle is once again celebrating the event.
Throughout the city there will be streets closed for block parties and bouncy houses (well, we know of ONE in Tangletown, and it sounds FUN), and other community-building, crime-preventing events. Visit the Seattle Night Out homepage for more info.
I know of at least one block party here in Ravenna (at 70th and 23rd) and there may be others. Let me know where they are, and I’ll add them to the post.
And even if your block has nothing planned for tonight, the good folks at the Ravenna-Eckstein Community Center have you covered.
From the Parks and Recreation Summer 2010 catalog (emphasis mine):
National “Night Outâ€
All Ages
“Night Out†is a national crime prevention event. It is designed to heighten crime prevention awareness, increase neighborhood support in anti-crime efforts, and unite our community. It is a great chance to learn about crime prevention, while also celebrating your community and spending time with your neighbors. Meet firemen and policemen and explore a real fire truck and a police car!
Location: Ravenna-Eckstein CC
6–8 p.m. Activity Fee: Free
Yes, we’ll go check it out for the toddler, but maybe I’m pretty excited to see the fire truck, too.
