Monday, June 15th Crown Hill Neighbors and Crown Hill Business Association jointly sponsored a Crime and Safety meeting for Crown Hill and adjacent areas. We had 37 members of the public attend the meeting in the Journey Church basement with 3 representatives of Seattle’s city government. D. Haag and N. Hansen from the Seattle Police Department and Rob Mattson from the Department of Neighborhoods fielded questions from the room, and each gave short presentations.

OUR CROWN HILL Question #1: Favorite Places
Thanks everyone for answering our first question, “What is your favorite place to spend time in Crown Hill? and why?”
Twenty-four neighbors shared their favorite spot in Crown Hill. That’s about a 10% response rate, which is very good for an email survey.   Many couldn’t resist and mentioned more than one place, including seasonal preferences such as, Sound View wading pool in the summer; Bento Sushi in the winter; or baseball season at Whitman & Crown Hill ball fields. Read on for a summary of familiar favorites and possible new discoveries. To check out all the responses click read more below.
Crown Hill denizens like their parks as they topped the list with 18 mentions. Crown Hill Park/school took the lead as either a current favorite, ” … with my 2 year old son. He loves running around playing on all the different things; I love that there’s so much space and I don’t have worry about him running out into the street.” It’s also been fun to watch him develop; he can finally go down the slide all by himself!” or a future favorite, “When the new park across from Dick’s is finished with the skatepark feature that will be my favorite place on Crown Hill…” and “We love playing frisbee in the field and we’re hoping there will still be a place to play when the park is developed.”

Neighborhood Garage Sale!!!
Calling all Crown Hill Neighbors to participate in our Third Annual CHNA Garage Sale. About 50 households participated last year with loads of cool stuff. Great way to meet your neighbors.
Is your house overflowing with clothes, furniture, toys, appliances, etc which could find a home with one of your neighbors or garage sale cruisers? Want an excuse to buy those 70’s bell bottom pants? Remember, one household’s junk is another’s treasure! This is your chance to buy or sell, and a wonderful opportunity to mingle with the crowds. Last year’s sale had over 50 participating selling households.
Do your kids need an excuse to set up a lemonade stand?
Check back at http://crownhillneighbors.org on June 25th, and we’ll have an online form so you can include your address and a short description of what you’ve got. We’ll have an online map and list of participating addresses with the descriptions you provide. (UPDATED: You can sign up here, and the online map of garage sales is here)
