Share your public safety concerns and suggestions at one of these focus groups. Seattle U is hosting them, and SPD won’t be there, so you can say whatever you want! The two meetings we would go to are Lake City (if you live east of 15th) on June 14 and Northgate (if you live west of 15th) on June 28. More details below:
Thornton Creek Alliance (TCA) is an all-volunteer grassroots, nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and restoring an ecological balance throughout the Thornton Creek watershed. Its goal is to benefit the watershed by encouraging individuals, groups, schools, businesses, and government to work together in addressing the environmental restoration of the creek system including: water quality, stabilization of water flow, flood prevention, and habitat improvement through education, collaboration, and community involvement. New members are always welcome. The larger the group, the greater the voice for a healthier watershed! But you don’t have to be a member to go to the meetings to hear the speakers. Here is the next meeting agenda:
There will be about 15 CSOs; so far it hasn’t been decided whether they will be centralized, or assigned to specific precincts. The idea is that this program will result in regular police officers having more time to respond to emergency 911 calls and to do their patrols. If you have ideas for what CSO duties should be, or what skills and knowledge you think they should have, please contact Angela Socci at Angela.Socci@Seattle.gov. Community comments are being sought. Planning is due to be finished by December. Residential burglary in the north precinct is down 19% YTD. Auto theft is down 27%! But sexual assault and domestic violence are up, 12% and 25% respectively. For all the north precinct news, read the minutes here.
Here is a partial picture of Pinehurst property crime for the month. Click on the map to enlarge it. You can see ALL the types of crime at http://web6.seattle.gov/mnm/policereports.aspx. Select the North neighborhood and enter a date range.
For the second summer, the North Seattle Arts Initiative is bringing free (by donation) theater for children at parks in Pinehurst, Lake City and surrounding neighborhoods. Theater for Young Children is an outreach arm of Sweet Pea Cottage Enterprises and this summer’s productions are sponsored by Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Seattle Office of Arts and Culture. They will be at the Pinehurst Playfield the weekend of Aug. 12th, performing two tales from Africa (Two Ways to Count to 10 & Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears) with colorful characters and live music. Saturday July 12th at 6 PM they will be performing next to the playfield, and Sunday July 13th they will be performing at 1:30 PM. They will also be at Albert Davis Park, behind the Lake City Library Branch, on Thursdays Aug. 10th and Aug. 17th. All shows are free with a suggested donation of $5.
You can also submit anonymous tips by phone by calling 1-800-222-TIPS. If you have crime or safety related information that may be deemed useful in your community, submit a tip. You may even be eligible for a reward.
Its website, http://www.preventionworksinseattle.org, has more information, including parental tips, resources, calendar of events, and its blog. The coalition meets the second Tuesday, every-other month, 8-9:30 a.m. at Seattle Children’s Hospital, 4800 Sand Point Way NE. The next meeting is in July.
