August 6th is “Seattle Night Out” which is part of a national event promoted by Seattle Police Department and Crime prevention. This is a chance for neighborhoods to come together for an evening block party.
Night Out – Police | seattle.gov
Registration closes 7/28!
In Montlake, we currently have one block party registered for that evening. If you’d like to attend the Montlake Parkside Block Party at the Tot Lot, sign up here: https://forms.office.com/r/mmM7DFSnjm

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 8th, 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.

Seattle: On Foot | Eye Level, a large-scale public service art project, celebrating the public service employees (federal, state, and local) and community leaders behind the often invisible infrastructure that makes the Seattle function.
The endeavor pulls together three threads to illuminate the stories of these individuals and our city:
- Walking all the streets of Seattle over the course of 12 – 15 months beginning January 2024 to honor their service to the city.
- Documenting the walk with photos as I progress through the neighborhoods and conducting interviews with public service employees and community leaders which will be uploaded to a website / blog.
- Embroidering a large scale (approximately 8’ x 14’) map of the streets of Seattle and inviting the public to attend “embroidery” events at libraries, community centers, and similar venues to witness the map emerge. The embroidery stitch will have a “tactile clarity” enabling the blind and low-vision community to “see” it.Upon completion the embroidered map and other documentary materials will be given to a yet to be determined Seattle institution for permanent display.
The walk will start in Montlake, Madison Park, Madison Valley and Capital Hill in January 2024 — continuing clockwise through southeast Seattle, West Seattle, downtown, Lake Union, Queen Anne, Magnolia | Interbay, and so on concluding at the University of Washington Campus.
For more information on the project please feel free to contact Beth Lowry — 206.913.7829 | lb53ber@gmail.com
