Let’s work together to make Montlake safe. Join your neighbors on Wednesday, November 12 (7:00 to 8:30 p.m.) for a Community Meeting sponsored by your Montlake Community Club Board. We’ll talk with Terrie Johnston, Seattle Police Department’s East/West Precinct Crime Prevention Coordinator, and with an Officer from the East Precinct Community Police Team. They will respond to our concerns about ongoing crime problems in Montlake and discuss how to resolve those problems. We’ll learn some ways of assuring our personal safety, protecting our homes and autos, and especially looking out for each other.
We’ll then invest the remaining meeting time in action strategizing toward broader community and block-level plans. This is where Montlake really needs YOU to get involved. All the learning on what we could do, can only work if we will do –with an emphasis on the WE.
You can start doing by writing a brief note to safety@montlake.net on your biggest safety concern, so we can let our SPD presenters know where to focus attention when we meet. Then you can show up at the meeting to listen, learn, and contribute to our action planning. Finally, you can offer to work with others to take action —continue to do your part.
Your MCC Board members are inviting you to join them at the Community Center (1618 E. Calhoun) for this important issue, because they, alone, can’t make Montlake safe. For that, we all have to come together. We hope you’ll make this a priority in your admittedly busy schedules. See you Wednesday night at 7:00. Let’s Do It!
