Neighbor Appreciation Day tomorrow: Fire station tours, free swim

View West Seattle fire stations in a larger map

One more reminder: One big part of the city’s 17th annual Neighbor Appreciation Day tomorrow is that all Seattle fire stations are open for tours. West Seattle has five – listed here, and pinpointed on the Google Map above. The open house is 11 am-2 pm. Other Neighbor Appreciation Day events include free swimming at Southwest Pool 1-2 pm (and they have refreshments starting at noon), plus a drop-in party (light refreshments, we’re told) at Delridge Community Center, noon-2 pm.

Something we started five years ago in our neighborhood is called symposium. On the first and third Fridays of the month from May through September around seven in the evening neighbors gather on our patio bringing beverages and munchies. Conversation is always lively and usually humorous.It has totally transformed the neighborhood. Neighbors baby sit the kids, let the dogs out if someone is running late, bring in the mail for those on vacation and in general keep an eye out for one another. Symposium has changed the neighborhood from a good place to live to a great community!

We went and visited our local Fire Station. It was pretty cool. Thanks WSB for posting about this otherwise I would have had no idea it was going on.

You bet, that’s our job :) We sent a photojournalist out to stop by as many of our five fire stations as he could during the open house – he got to four of them – photos to come separately – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
