The party will also include a thrift shop costume contest judged by Seattle's mayor Mike McGinn, with prizes for best-dressed.

And For Today

Making SODO Streets Safe

Help make SODO a safer place by attending a community forum hosted by the Duwamish Transportation Management Association.

After a series of bike and pedestrian accidents in SODO, a group of SODO transportation managers surveyed neighborhood businesses and employees, and found that most people don't feel safe as they drive, walk, or bike to work. Discuss what needs to be done to improve pedestrian and traffic safety with elected officials from the state, the Port of Seattle, King County, and the city.

Safety First, Safety Now Community Forum, Wed, June 12, 2-4pm, South Seattle Community College, Georgetown Campus, 6737 Corson Ave S, free.
