Take a look at this map (PDF). If you’re in one of those areas, you might see a Seattle Fire engine or truck drive through your neighborhood 7-8 pm tonight as part of “Friday Night Lights.” You’re invited to “come to the window or doorstep and make some noise” if/when you see them. The map, by the way, shows the north section of the fire stations’ service areas (in West Seattle, that’s 29, 36, 32, 11, and 37); the south ends would get a visit next Friday night.
What a nice idea, I hope folks get a kick out of it! All the responsible, creative, and interesting events the last few weeks makes me glad I moved up here.
No kidding. This week’s episode of looking out the window…I saw the WS turkey, a lady with orange hair pulling a dog in a wagon, and a guy taking his ten foot tree for a walk.
thanks for the laugh, Heyalki. I’m stealing, “This week’s episode of looking out the window”. Our window faces an alley and the backend of the assisted living facility-so all I see are trash, smokers and crows. At least the Vidiots are gone.
Here in normally quiet Shorewood on the Sound we had lights and sirens last night from police right outside our house. At around 1am. They stayed briefly near our dead end by our driveway and then left. Although quiet returned in short order it was hard to go back to sleep with a pounding heart!BTW, I spread the word about putting teddy bears in the window and it seems to be catching on here! 😀🐻
We had them at 3:20 last Saturday morning. They should spread the love to a different area than 48th/Waite/Niesz/49th
so are they coming if in the gray areas or the non grey areas, or both?
The highlighted areas are the “north” side of the stations’ service areas, and that’s tonight’s focus, with further elaboration from SFD that they are focusing on “highly residential” areas as well as areas with nursing homes/long-term-care facilities.
Reminds me of when East Pierce County Fire would drive around with Santa on the fire truck and hand out candy canes in the evenings, it was super fun!
I assume the numbers on the map correspond with the truck numbers (like #32 shown here)? It’s a very nice thing to do and I hope we cheer them on.
We waited until 8:15 no fire trucks threw our sign in recycle went into our house. 😞
We just saw an engine along the beach. We waved and they waved back. Makes me think of when we were on the school bus and do the arm pump to get semi truck blow its horn. 😊
We want to say thank you. Before the quarantine, my daughter loved bringing cookies to our neighborhood fire station. It’s been difficult to explain to. 3-year old why we can’t now because of the virus. We had no clue this was occurring. We were in the kitchen and hear something that sounded like it could be a soft truck horn. At first, we thought it was a cell phone text tone. When we went to the window, we saw the fire truck. My 3-year old was over the moon to have the firepeople drive by her house and wave to her!
Sorry, comment time is over.
