imanonParticipantThe Thursday night drum circle at Alki is driving us crazy! We support the fun and spirit of it, but this is a weeknight and the sound carries easily to our home 1/2 mile away. We can hear you through our closed windows and we don’t want to close our windows. The drumming circle was announced for 6:30-8:30pm, but last night, for example, it went more than an hour past that. This is not fun for those of us not participating, it is downright annoying. It would help if we knew it would really stop at 8:30. On the dot. Drummers, can we please resolve this without having to get all bureaucratic?

SmytheMemberGriping about it anonymously on the Internet better than “getting bureaucratic”? Maybe try talking to them?

JanSParticipantabsolutely try talking with them. And if that doesn’t work, get bureaucratic.

SueParticipantIf you’re not willing to talk to them directly about it, it looks as if you might have a case to talk to the police per this section of the Seattle Muncipal Code:
“25.08.500 – Public disturbance noises.
It is unlawful for any person knowingly to cause or make, or for any person in possession of property knowingly to allow or originate from the property, unreasonable noise which disturbs another, and to refuse or intentionally fail to cease the unreasonable noise when ordered to do so by a police officer or, in the case of noise described in subsection A of this section, when ordered to do so by any of the following: a police officer, an animal control officer, or, in the case of a pet daycare center as defined in chapter 23.84A of this Code, any employee of the Department of Planning and Development authorized by the Director of that Department. “Unreasonable noise” shall include the following sounds or combination of sounds:
. . .
D. Loud or raucous, and frequent, repetitive, or continuous sounds created by use of a musical instrument, or other device capable of producing sound when struck by an object, a whistle, or a sound amplifier or other device capable of producing, amplifying, or reproducing sound; . . .”
