Sunday – Puppyhurst Doggo and Kiddo Parade!

The weather report shows mostly sunny for our 2021 Puppyhurst Doggo and Kiddo Parade! Come on out and join the parade, or bring chairs and watch as the fun passes by. Last year the dog, kid and adult costumes were wonderful to behold.

We are collecting new socks in a bin at the Pocket Pocket park, where the parade begins, if you wish to continue. See the prior blog post for details.

The parade starts at 11 am Sunday, we hope to see you there!

Sock Drive October 31 – November 16

We are collecting new socks (and winter hats are ok, too) at our Puppyhurst Doggo & Kiddo Parade at 11 am October 31st. Look for the collection bin during the parade at Pinehurst Pocket Park, NE 117th St & 19th Ave NE. Then for the duration of the drive Zylberschtein’s Deli is collecting for our community. They will collect socks during their Halloween Party October 31, 1-3, and then through November 16.

2021 Public Safety Survey

Please consider filling out this year’s public safety survey, put out by Seattle U. If you have beefs with SPD, here’s a way to voice them. If you have concerns about neighborhood safety, and crime, there are lots of questions about that, too. publicsafetysurvey.org

North Precinct Advisory Council Minutes – October 2021

The special topic at the NPAC meeting this month was an update on Seattle’s Consent Decree with U.S. Department of Justice. Monisha Harrell, Deputy Monitor, was guest speaker. We’re in our 10th year of being monitored while implementing improvements in SPD policies and procedures after complaints were made to DOJ about excessive use of force.

In 2012 Seattle was deemed to be in compliance and moved into a 2 year sustainment phase, but then fell out of compliance over a SPOG (police union) action that compromised accountability. Current negotiations for the new SPOG contract are being watched closely. And the monitors are very concerned about what defunding the police might mean for Seattle’s ability to stay in compliance with the decree.

The City Attorney’s Office and King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office representatives were asked to explain how some felony charges can be refiled as misdemeanor charges. This is relevant due to some policy stances of the candidates running for City Attorney. See the minutes.

Captan Stampfl talked about catalytic converter thefts and encampments, among other things.
