Neighborhood Night Out

Night OutSeattle has had a long history of supporting Night Out which is a program supported by the Seattle Police Department. The program has been growing every year, with over 1,200 neighborhood groups participating in 2009. The event is an opportunity to bring your neighbors together, welcome new neighbors, talk about crime prevention and Block Watch efforts, and have a great time with food, music, games – whatever your block wants to put together. Some gatherings are just a few households; others expand into large block parties.

Night Out Against Crime is an opportunity for Crown Hill neighbors to renew their commitment to:

  • Heightening crime and drug prevention awareness.
  • Generating support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs
  • Strengthening neighborhood spirit and knowledge of who your neighbors are
  • Sharing ideas for safety and distributing neighborhood contact information.

Who organizes Crown Hill blocks to have a “Neighborhood Night Out” event?  You do. It’s up to each group of neighbors to put something together. You can get a permit for a street closure if you want to use the street for kid’s games, chalk art, dancing, whatever.  To register for a street closure and download a sign to post at your street ends, go to this website:  http://www.seattle.gov/police/Nightout/Materials.htm
