COUNTDOWN: 1 month until Night Out 2023

| Neighborhoods | Safety | West Seattle news

We have several upcoming big events to remind you about today – starting with the one night each year that neighbors get together to focus on crime prevention, community-building, and fun: Night Out. We are now exactly one month away from this year’s Night Out – Tuesday, August 1st. If you want to close your non-arterial street for a neighborhood block party, register via SPD’s Night Out page – find it here. West Seattle alone usually has hundreds; this year there’s a map, which will list yours only if you agree to be listed – go here to see the parties already mapped.

Could you explain more about what the actual event entails? I’m newer to WS & can’t find more details about this online so far. Thanks!

Here’s the national explanation:

Though that site plays up the police/community partnership, in our experience it’s primarily a neighborhood-solidarity thing – might be the only time each year all or most neighbors (not just “single-family” neighborhoods – apartment buildings host parties too) get together to talk and mingle, often with a potluck dinner. Some neighborhoods even add activities from bouncy houses to bands.
