We’ve all waited patiently, and a pillar of our community is now back.

Come for carnival games, cider, candy, and arts and crafts!

Did you know that Montlake is in the process of building an Emergency Hub?

Emergency Hubs are community driven groups which help educate neighbors on what to do in the event of an emergency or natural disaster and coordinate resources amongst the neighborhood outside of City services. More details can be found here: Emergency Preparedness, Disaster Awareness | Seattle Emergency Hubs | Seattle, WA

To kick off the beginning of the hub, there will be a meeting on Wednesday, August 14, from 6:30-7:30 at the Montlake library. 

The intent is to help people learn more about hubs, go over roles and determine next steps.

Stop by if you’re interested in being a part of this community led effort!
