The guest speaker this month was Brendan Brophy, attorney with the Seattle Attorney’s Office. He is the Office’s liaison with the North Precinct. He spoke about the Nuisance Properties Ordinance. It’s a tool police can use to deal with businesses and houses that have frequent nuisance activities. Orion Motel was one such property, and Fusion Ultra Lounge in the U District.
The precinct picnic will be July 11 near Ballard Commons, in conjunction with Ballard Seafoodfest. Mark your calendars!
We were givenĀ an update on design plans for the new precinct building. It will be on Aurora and 130th. Until the existing buildings on the new property are demolished in a little over a year, the city is looking into temporarily using one of them, Pi Bank, to house Mary’s Place, a homeless family shelter that has to move from its current location in South Lake Union.
