WELCOME TO THE NW DISTRICT COUNCIL

The Northwest District Council is an organization of vibrant neighborhood groups working hard to keep this district a great place to work, play, visit, and live. The efforts of our active local neighborhood councils make living here the best it can be, ensuring neighborhood schools, libraries, parks, roads, utilities, and other amenities are maintained and enhanced for the health, safety, and enjoyment of all. The NW District Council works with other Districts, the City of Seattle, and state and regional entities to make life better for everyone.

CITY IDENTIFIES SITE FOR NEW NORTH PRECINCT POLICE STATION

SEATTLE - The city of Seattle has identified property at the SE corner of Aurora Avenue North and North 130th Street as the recommended new North Precinct site. Council review and approval of legislation authorizing the property acquisition, including a public hearing, is expected in December 2013.

An Open House was held Saturday morning, Oct. 26 at the Bitter Lake Community Center gym, and covered the site selection process, how the site meets SPD's operational needs, and the development schedule. If you missed this meeting, more opportunities for public comment will be coming up. You can also visit the New North Precinct Station project website for more information and to sign up for the project's listserv.

COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAINING

After a major disaster, emergency services people rely on will be overwhelmed and unable to meet the increased demand. Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training is a series of classes to prepare people to take action immediately after a disaster. The training is a combination of skills based classes that will teach participants about Fire Suppression, Utility Control, Light Search and Rescue and Disaster First Aid, in addition to basic tenants of Emergency Preparedness and Emergency Response. For more information visit the CERT website.

Brian and Dinah just want to get engaged - but can they?

When the lovely Mr. Pim stops in for a visit one offhand remark turns the household upside down. This recently rediscovered comedy by A.A. Milne is packed with delightfully droll humor. More info on the Taproot website.
