Local Area Vandalism

A neighbor on NE 25th St. has had numerous incidents of vandalism to his truck since October.  He is doing all the right things, so I’d like to remind everyone of what to do. 

  • Keep a log of recurring crimes. Being able to tell the police that a crime has occured numerous times helps them determine the criticality of your call.
  • Trade contact information with your neighbors and call them when you see something suspicious or to ask them if they saw anything. 
  • Call the police each time a crime occurs.  The more crimes we report, the more we get on the police’s radar, which might induce them to patrol our area more often.
  • To get more ideas and to get tips on making your property safer, contact our Crime Prevention Coordinator, Diane Horswill, diane.horswill@seattle.gov or 206-684-7711.

*Pinehurst Residential Burglary Report: October 2010

Like most neighborhoods in the North End, our numbers are low again this month.  The police have been doing a great job of apprehending repeat burglars. 

If you have any questions on crime prevention, or if you would like to form a block watch, please contact Diane Horswill (diane.horswill@seattle.gov or 206-684-7711) at the North Precinct.

Sign-Up Now for North Link Light Rail Project Updates

I’m really excited to be able to share info on the upcoming Light Rail expansion to Northgate.  It’s obviously a long ways off still but it’s moving forward and you can sign up for updates directly to get info directly from Sound Transit.  We’ll be posting more updates here as we get them but if you want the full scoop it’s probably better to subscribe since we won’t repost everything.  I don’t want to overwhelm those who aren’t giant transit geeks like myself.

Here’s the update from Ellen Blair from Sound Transit Community Outreach:

· Final design of North Link light rail is getting going—and you can easily follow along. Just sign up for e-mail updates at www.soundtransit.org/subscribe. You can also visit Sound Transit’s website at www.soundtransit.org or follow Sound Transit on Facebook or Twitter.

· North Link extends light rail from the University of Washington Station near Husky Stadium (which is currently under construction) to stations serving the University District, Roosevelt and Northgate neighborhoods.

Saturday is Free Acupuncture Day at North Seattle Community Acupuncture

What’s better than a free acupuncture treatment? A free treatment for both you and your friend!

Introduce someone new to North Seattle Community Acupuncture this Saturday (Nov 6th) and both of you will receive free treatments. Are you new to us? Then just bring yourself if you like.

Sure, you could go out for coffee or take each other to the movies, but healing with someone you care about, in comfortable recliners, surrounded by soothing music? Now that’s a worthwhile experience!

How can you make this happen? By scheduling your own appointment on our website (www.northseaforme.com), calling us at 206-524-6428, or dropping by between 9am and 12pm this Saturday.

Our address is 11329 Pinehurst Way NE, Seattle, WA 98125. We are 2 blocks north of the Northgate Way and Roosevelt intersection, just a few minutes east of the Northgate Mall.

See you Saturday. You’ll be thankful you skipped the movie!
