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!

Did you that that there is a community owned and managed park, right here in Montlake?

The Gateway Parks (at the southeast and southwest corners of Boyer and 24th Ave) belong to the Montlake Community Club and are maintained by community volunteers for the enjoyment of the whole Montlake community. If you haven’t had a chance to visit them, take a walk to check them out!

Volunteers are needed to help with Spring maintenance in the East Gateway Park, including weeding, pruning, battling the left-over bluebells, trimming back the daffodils, cleaning up the steps, and getting the corner behind the orange fencing back to looking decent.   If you have some free time between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm on Saturday June 8^th, your help would be appreciated!  Bring garden tools and work gloves if you have them, though some extra supplies will be available if you need them.

The upcoming work party is a great opportunity to meet your neighbors and to learn more about the wide variety of native plants in the East Gateway Park.  We hope to see you there!

**Correction! Art walk is on Thursday June 6th, not June 5th**

On June 6th from 5-7pm, come to Montlake’s Business District for an evening of new art.

Works of Jeff Peters and Gretchen Gammell will be on display at the newly opened Hall Spassov Gallery and Oxbow.

Come meet the artists, view art, meet neighbors, and enjoy light refreshments from Fast Penny Spirits and Oxbow.
