Participate in Night Out 2015 on August 4th

It’s time to start thinking about holding a Night Out block event.  Each year many groups of neighbors have a potluck get together to socialize and maybe talk about crime prevention.  This year’s Night Out is on Tuesday August 4.

“Night Out” is a national Crime Prevention event. Seattle has had a long history of supporting Night Out. The program has been growing every year, with over 1,400 neighborhoods participating each year. This type of community participation is what makes Seattle a great place to live.

The event is a unique opportunity to bring your neighbors together, welcome new neighbors, talk about crime prevention and Block Watch efforts, and mainly just have a great time with food, music, games – whatever you want. The creativity we’ve seen of what neighborhoods come up with is amazing. Some gatherings are just a few households; others expand into large block parties.

Information about how to invite your neighbors is here.

You can register your event here if you want to close off your street or invite Fire Department or Police Department staff to stop by.
