WEEK AHEAD: One month after bullets hit homes, community-safety meetup for North Delridge neighbors

More than a month has passed since a huge volley of gunfire hit homes and vehicles in North Delridge (WSB coverage here), and other gunfire incidents have followed, including three in two days in mid-April. No word of arrests so far, so neighbors are organizing a community-safety gathering this Tuesday (May 6). One of the organizers, Doug, says, “The goal is to give neighbors a chance to gather, share ideas for solutions, and hopefully be able to ask some questions of city officials.” As of last check, Doug says they hadn’t received city-official confirmation, aside from the likelihood that SPD will be able to attend; as we reported last week, police have been doing “emphasis patrols” in the area. They’ll be gathering at 6 pm Tuesday at Cottage Grove Park, on the paved circular area near the playground.

    Don’t expect your council member, Rob Saka, to show up. Maybe he’ll write something about it in his crappy “newsletter?” I suppose him actually showing up might be even worse: he’d sanctimoniously lecture everybody about how he, actually, has made Seattle oh-so-much better, and that the “real” problem is that you wouldn’t be hearing those gunshots if you were busier clapping your hands to congratulate Rob for how great he is!

      I’m sure Rob will show up. He’s personally affected as this happened near his house. It’s become quite clear he’ll use his power for his own benefit.

        Perfect example of West Seattle logic. He probably won’t show up because you don’t like him, he will show up because you don’t like him. Breathe into the paper bag, it’s going to be ok

    If you haven’t seen our newer story, he just announced he’s organizing a community forum for May 14.
