North Precinct Advisory Council Minutes – November 2021

The topic at November’s North Precinct Advisory Council Meeting was current responses in Seattle to mental health crisis calls. The speaker was Nicole Macri, Deputy Director for strategy, Downtown Emergency Services Center (DESC), who is also 43rd District Representative in the WA Legislature.

She explained how DESC and SPD interact. She highlighted the inadequate local behavioral health resources and supportive housing. And she explained why SPD officers are currently often reluctant to go on crisis calls due to lack of clarity about use of force in some of the state laws passed this summer.

Kids’ Art in Pinehurst Pocket Park

November’s art in the pocket park is by Mateo, who was 8 years old two summers ago when he drew it at Pinehurstfest. Hopefully we’ll have Pinehurstfest next year, after the pandemic hiatus. Don’t you love this picture of mountains and the sliver moon at night? Thanks, Mateo! Everyone, go see it in the park kiosk, at NE 117th St & 19th Ave NE.

If your child (or you!) would like to show art in the park, contact PocketPark@PinehurstSeattle.org.

Sunday – Puppyhurst Doggo and Kiddo Parade!

The weather report shows mostly sunny for our 2021 Puppyhurst Doggo and Kiddo Parade! Come on out and join the parade, or bring chairs and watch as the fun passes by. Last year the dog, kid and adult costumes were wonderful to behold.

We are collecting new socks in a bin at the Pocket Pocket park, where the parade begins, if you wish to continue. See the prior blog post for details.

The parade starts at 11 am Sunday, we hope to see you there!

Sock Drive October 31 – November 16

We are collecting new socks (and winter hats are ok, too) at our Puppyhurst Doggo & Kiddo Parade at 11 am October 31st. Look for the collection bin during the parade at Pinehurst Pocket Park, NE 117th St & 19th Ave NE. Then for the duration of the drive Zylberschtein’s Deli is collecting for our community. They will collect socks during their Halloween Party October 31, 1-3, and then through November 16.
