Mayor Chris Roberts proclaimed Tuesday August 6, 2024 as National Night Out in Shoreline. 

The proclamation was received by Corinne McKisson,  Program Manager at Ronald  Commons. Corrinne has made National Night Out an annual and much-anticipated tradition for residents of Ronald Commons. She creates a warm and welcoming environment for everyone in the community. 

National Night Out for Community provides an opportunity for Shoreline residents to connect with their neighbors. As our City changes and grows, those connections are even more important. 

The City’s goal for NNO is to foster a sense of belonging, whether participants live in single- or multi-family housing. Corinne has led the way in making this happen.

Pat Deagan had a dream last Friday... let’s throw together a last minute Night Out at Echo Lake Park just to see who comes? Well, at least 16 neighbors and a few City of Shoreline staff showed up!

August Night Out at Echo Lake Park was planned on fairly short notice but what a crowd including Michelle Pidduck, Community Educator and Public Relations Officer for the Shoreline Fire Department seen here in photo. 

Neighbors had a great time getting to know each other and the dog cleaned up the spills

From Shoreline Police, King County Officer Lacy also stopped by long enough to listen and share info. 

What a fun time meeting new neighbors, many living close by for several years but having never met until tonight! 

And everyone’s dog met up as well enjoying any fallen food!

National Night Out - Tuesday August 6, 2024

Night Out in Ridgecrest
Photo by Steven H. Robinson

Some of your neighborhood streets may be closed on Tuesday night, with picnic tables in the middle of the street.

It's National Night Out when neighbors gather to get to know each other. Years ago, a cop told me that the best defense against crime is a nosy neighbor. 

I'll never forget the police blotter story about a man who watched workers empty the furniture from his next door neighbor's house. He thought "I didn't know they were moving." 

Well, they weren't. He was watching a bold crime in action. Because he never talked to his neighbor, he didn't know that they had no plans to move.

It's actually not too late to have your own event. Recruit the neighbor with the biggest front lawn or driveway, then invite everyone on the street to a potluck dinner.

You can also request a visit from fire or police.

NEMCo participation in National Night Out celebrations

Wednesday, August 23, 2023

NEMCo volunteers at Kenmore's NNO event

By Katrina Rose – NEMCo Steering Committee Member

National Night Out Against Crime is celebrated in many ways across the country on the first Tuesday in August. 

The Cities of Kenmore and Lake Forest Park (LFP) each had different ways of celebrating this year, but both invited the Northshore Emergency Management Coalition (NEMCo) to educate the community and encourage citizens to join our serious but fun events. 

For the LFP celebration there were about 40 community gatherings in local neighborhoods which were visited by LFP Police and Shoreline Fire Department. 

These neighborhood ‘block parties’ offered an opportunity for the community to meet its members as well as its emergency services personnel. 

NEMCo had three teams of two who were able to ride along with LFP Police to about 14 of these gatherings.

NEMCo volunteers shared information with over 250 people at NNO events

Kenmore had their celebration on Wednesday, in conjunction with its Farmer's Market, where NEMCo joined in the busy event by setting up a booth staffed with volunteers. 

For both celebrations NEMCo volunteers were able to chat with, educate, and discuss NEMCo's mission and activities with residents. 

In total, volunteers answered questions and distributed information on NEMCo programs as well as general disaster preparedness to over 250 people. 

Remember to mark your calendars for the first Tuesday and Wednesday in August 2024 so you can volunteer at or participate in these important and fun community events.

For more information on NEMCo and disaster preparedness, visit our website at NorthshoreEMC.com.

Most importantly, neighbors get to meet each other. Neighbors who know each other and know what is normal behavior around the block and what is not, are the best crime prevention tool. 

Years ago, a brazen crew of burglars drove up to a Shoreline home in a van and proceeded to load everything from the house into the van.

The next door neighbor watched the entire process and thought "I didn't know my neighbor was moving."

Everyone having fun at the street party.

Andrea Pertusky reports: All photos were taken on 11th Ave NE between 158th and 162nd. We had over 150 attend. It was glorious! We had our first NNO in 2013.

Streets will be blocked for National Night Out NNO parties Tuesday

Tuesday, August 2, 2022

Photo by Steven H. Robinson

When you run into random street closures in residential neighborhoods around the area on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, with fire or police vehicles on the street, you most probably have run into a National Night Out Against Crime (NNO) block party.

Closing a street is not required - some people use long driveways or front lawns - but other choose to have their street closed off so they can set up tables and chairs in the street.

NNO is a campaign to help neighbors know each other so they know what is normal for their block and what needs to be checked out.

Favorite example: the Shoreline man who looked outside and thought "I didn't know those neighbors were moving" and went about his business. They weren't moving. They were being cleaned out by bold thieves with a rental truck.

If anyone gets photos of there event, send them to Editor@ShorelineAreaNews.com
