“Night Out Against Crime” is a national event that encourages neighbors to gather and spend time together in an effort to heighten crime prevention/awareness and increase neighborhood safety. Porch lights are typically turned on as a symbolic gesture supporting crime prevention. When you register your event in Seattle, most non-arterial streets can be blocked off (without a fee), so you and your neighbors can take over your street.
This year Night Out is Tuesday, August 6th. You can register your block party or event and get help planning and publicizing it at http://www.seattle.gov/police/nightout/
Last year there were 1366 block parties in Seattle, and Pinehurst had a lot. Let’s do it again this year!
Sign me up to receive information about this event. I’m a new home owner in Pinehurst. Please and thank you. Michelle
I’m hoping more Pinehurst block parties will be added to the site soon!
