In addition to the annual Maple Leaf Ice Cream Summer Social tomorrow (from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Maple Leaf Playground), there’s another important community-building event on the horizon.
Just two weeks away, on Aug. 7, is the annual National Night Out, an event that aims to gather neighbors together for the sake of community as well as safety.
Participating blocks are asked to register their event with the city’s Seattle Night Out website, where you can request a visit from city officials or for information about Block Watch and other safety program to be distributed among neighbors.
For many, it’s just a chance to get together and relax.
Is your block participating in National Night Out? What are your plans to bring people together for the evening?
