Welcome back to all friends and neighbors from a wonderful long summer. We hope everyone is enjoying the last of the sunny weather and color and gathering themselves for the winter dark. In case you haven’t heard, Seattle Public Utilities has called for voluntary water conservation due to the drought conditions, find information on how to do so here.
All are welcome at our first meeting of the 23-24 season. We will be joined by staff from the Seattle Police Department in conversation with community. We hear so much about crime in the media, is crime really on the rise in Highland Park, Riverview & South Delridge?
We also will have guests from the LEAD program to talk about their recent work in partnership with many other agencies in the resolution of the large encampment on State land off Myers Way. What are the lessons learned and ways we can support these efforts to help insecurely housed folks.
Join us Wednesday, 9/27 via Zoom at:

Announcements and Upcoming events:
Special thanks to all residents and drivers for their patience as SDOT contractors race to finish the ground work for the new stop light at SW Holden and Highland Park Way SW. Recent pouring of one of the SW Holden concrete panels required the road be shut down to one lane of traffic overnight. Your courtesy and attentive driving are greatly appreciated by workers and neighbors.
