Community meeting- join us to dig into Seattle’s past!

Youâ€™re invited to explore some of Magnoliaâ€™s history and learn about the field of archeology. On November 19, 2015, King County Wastewater Treatment Division invites you to learn about our award-winning efforts to protect history, and to hear archeologist Alicia Valentino share the story told by remnants of Seattleâ€™s Finntown.

Before the presentation, you can:

Learn about how archeologists have recovered and protected cultural resources on King Countyâ€™s project sites in Magnolia
See artifacts from Finntown and replicas of artifacts from the West Point Treatment Plant site in Discovery Park
Visit with the Magnolia Historical Society and learn about their work to chronicle the areaâ€™s history

In 2014, King Countyâ€™s contractor unexpectedly unearthed clues to a pre-World War II shantytown during construction of the new Magnolia Wet Weather Storage Facility.Â Over a month, archeologists recovered over 2,400 artifacts from a site that turned out to be remnants of Finntown.Â Finntown, a low-income, multicultural community, clung to the tideflats of Smith Cove around 1920-1940.

Do you have a personal story from Seattleâ€™s past you would like to tell? From 5:30 until 7:00 p.m., you can provide video or audio stories to our team! Give me a call or drop an email if you are interested.

Murray, Constantine, City Council declare emergency,

announce new investments to respond to homelessness

SEATTLE (Nov. 2, 2015) â€“ Mayor Ed Murray and King County Executive Dow Constantine have declared emergencies, and joined by Seattle City Councilmembers Mike Oâ€™Brien, Sally Bagshaw and John Okamoto, outlined new investments to respond to the growing crisis of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in Seattle and King County.

This morning, Mayor Murray signed a Proclamation of Civil Emergency and Executive Constantine signed a Local Proclamation of Emergency in response to the growing crisis.

â€œSeattle is facing an emergency as a result of the growing crisis in homelessness,â€ said Mayor Murray. â€œThe City is prepared to do more as the number of people in crisis continues to rise, but our federal and state partners must also do more. Cities cannot do this alone. Addressing homelessness must be a national priority with a federal response.â€

Murray and Seattle City Councilmembers today outlined a $5.3 million package to respond to the growing demand for services. For more information, see details of the new City investments and Frequently Asked Questions.

Executive Constantine has proposed $2 million in investments, some of which are already pending before the King County Council, to address immediate human needs and the root causes of homelessness.

Last winterâ€™s One Night Count found 3,772 men, women, and children without shelter in King County, including more than 2,800 in Seattle â€“ a 21 percent increase over 2014. In 2015, 66 homeless people have died in King County, including 47 on the streets and in unpermitted encampments in Seattle. The state now reports that 35,000 people in King County become newly homeless at some point during the year.

The City of Seattle already invests more than $40 million annually to assist people at-risk of or experiencing homelessness, including single adults, youth, families, domestic violence survivors, older adults, and veterans. King County invests $36 million a year to assist individuals and families at-risk of or experiencing homelessness.

Murray cited a decline in federal housing support and slim state budgets for mental health and substance abuse treatments as factors that have increased the burden on local governments. A decade ago, City resources represented less than 40 percent of the total funding for homelessness services. The City is now responsible for over 60 percent of homelessness investments.

Seattle funds over 1,600 shelter beds that serve 13,000 individuals a year. Half of those who are served in shelters do not re-experience homelessness in Seattle. But with shelters at 90 percent occupancy, today the City announced a commitment for another 100 beds.

There are 32,000 homeless children in Washington state, with nearly 3,000 homeless children currently attending Seattle Public Schools. On average, thatâ€™s more than 1 student per Seattle classroom. Bailey Gatzert Elementary, a school of 350 students, served 71 homeless students last school year.

The City is currently analyzing all homelessness investments and expanding data collection to ensure resources are targeted at the most effective strategies. Seattle is also launching a new effort to reduce administrative burden on agencies by allowing non-profit partners to provide a range of services under portfolio contracts, rather than separate contracts for each type of service.

Those interested in joining the effort to respond to the homelessness crisis should visit www.allhomekc.org and review All Homeâ€™s strategic plan.

City seeks steering committee members for youth Participatory Budgeting project

October 28, 2015 (Seattle, WA) â€“ Seattle Department of Neighborhoods is seeking individuals interested in serving on the steering committee of the new Seattle Participatory Budgeting Project (PB). PB is a democratic process through which Seattle youth ages 13-19 decide how to spend part of the Cityâ€™s budget. In the Mayorâ€™s 2016 Proposed Budget, $500,000 has been set aside for PB in its inaugural year.

â€œWe are empowering our young people to help create the services and resources that speak to their concerns,â€ said Mayor Ed Murray. â€œThis is your chance to address unmet needs, create a brighter future and support a more equitable community for all our youth.â€

Along with representatives from the Seattle Youth Commission and the City Neighborhood Council, the steering committee will include youth leaders and representatives from Seattle organizations working with youth that are involved in civic engagement, empowerment and organizing, good government, research, planning and policy, community organizing, community education, grant making, social justice giving, or urban infrastructure. This is a volunteer board that will serve from November 2015 to July 2016.

â€œThe Participatory Budgeting steering committee is a great opportunity for young people to directly shape how city money is spent, and learn how the city worksâ€”from the inside,â€ said Councilmember Nick Licata.

Visit seattle.gov/neighborhoods/youth-participatory-budgeting to learn more about the steering committee and to apply. The deadline for applications is Friday, November 13 at 5 p.m. For questions, contact Rahwa Habte at 206.615.2008 or Rahwa.habte@seattle.gov.

Take the Pedestrian Master Plan Update survey!

The Pedestrian Master Plan seeks to funnel pedestrian improvements to areas of the city with the greatest need. It prioritizes where to provide new sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, and many other improvements that make it easier to walk in our neighborhoods.

To inform the Plan update, we need your input on the types of pedestrian improvements you think are most important, and where you think we should build them. We will use your feedback to help identify the highest priority areas to focus improvements.

You can access the Pedestrian Master Plan Update public survey on SDOTâ€™s home page, or directly on the project website here: http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/pedMasterPlan.htm. It will be open throughÂ the end of November.

Alert Seattle is the official emergency notification system used by the City of Seattle to communicate with city resident during emergencies.Â Sign up now to receive free alerts from the City via text message, e-mail, voice message or social media.

Community Crosswalks Program

Spurred by the popularity of Capitol Hillâ€™s rainbow crosswalks, which were installed in June, residents can now use the existing Neighborhood Matching Fund to request such crosswalks. This will allow unique crosswalks to be approved and installed through an established process, ensuring that they are safe, reflective of community values and can be maintained.

To be eligible for an installation by SDOT, applicants will need to adhere to City guidelines for crosswalk locations and designs. Crosswalks must be sited where vehicles already stop for a traffic signal or stop sign, the design should consist only of horizontal or vertical bars, and the pavement underneath must be in good condition.

Crosswalks typically cost about $25 per square foot, depending on the complexity of the design and installation, and can be expected to last approximately 3-5 years based on the amount of vehicular traffic at the location. More information about the program can be found here:Â http://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/community-crosswalks. Crosswalks installed or modified outside of this process will be reviewed by SDOT and removed/repainted if determined to be unsafe.

The Neighborhood Matching Fund provides matching dollars for neighborhood improvement, organizing, or projects that are developed and implemented by community members. More information about the longstanding program can be found here:Â http://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/neighborhood-matching-fund.

Traveler Safety Tips for Darker, Rainy Months

City reminds people driving, biking, and walking to practice extra safety this fall and winter; longer nights and wet weather mean extra risks for travelers

SEATTLE â€“ Fall has arrived in the northwest bringing rainy weather and shorter days. Statistically, there are more collisions during the darker and wetter months of the year. Seattle is actively working to raise safety awareness and improve safety on our streets through Vision Zero, the citywide plan to end traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030. The Seattle Department of Transportation is sharing some important safety tips for everyone as they travel the streets of Seattle this fall and winter.

â€œSafety is all about simple steps and choices we make every day. Driving the speed limit, making sure youâ€™re being seen, and putting your phone away are critical for everyoneâ€™s safety,â€ said SDOT Director Scott Kubly. â€œWith Halloween and the Daylight Savings coming up, we want to remind people driving, biking, and walking to use extra caution out on the roadways.â€

TOP TIPS FOR SAFER TRAVELING

Focus on the Road

Distracted driving incidents have more than tripled since 2011. People driving need to pay attention and put the phone away when they get in the car. That call or text can wait.

Make Smart Choices

Taking personal responsibility on our streets means not driving impairedâ€”which remains the single biggest contributing factor to fatalities. If youâ€™ve had too much to drink, park it, cab it, take transit or use a rideshare service such as Uber or Lyft.

Slow Down

The laws of physics tell us that higher speeds result in more crashes, injuries, and deaths: When a person who is walking is hit by a car traveling 40 miles per hour, that person has a 10 percent chance of survival. Those are not good odds.
The good news is that, if we slow traffic down a little, something remarkable happens: When a person who is walking is hit by a car travelling 20 miles per hour, the survival rate jumps to 90 percent.

See and Be Seen

People driving need to pay extra attention. People walking and biking need to make sure they are visible. The best way to do this is to wear reflectors or bright colored clothing. If youâ€™re riding a bike, use lights and reflective stickers. And remember, drivers are required to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk, whether it is marked or unmarked.

Please be aware of each other as youâ€™re getting around and travel safely. For more information on Vision Zero, visit www.seattle.gov/visionzero. #VisionZeroSEA

City seeks steering committee members for youth Participatory Budgeting project

Â October 28, 2015 (Seattle, WA) â€“ Seattle Department of Neighborhoods is seeking individuals interested in serving on the steering committee of the new Seattle Participatory Budgeting Project (PB). PB is a democratic process through which Seattle youth ages 13-19 decide how to spend part of the Cityâ€™s budget. In the Mayorâ€™s 2016 Proposed Budget, $500,000 has been set aside for PB in its inaugural year.

The City will be hosting an informational webinar on Tuesday, November 3, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for interested individuals to learn more about the participatory budgeting process and the role of the steering committee and to hear from the City of Boston that implemented its own participatory budgeting process in 2014. To access the webinar on November 3, go to attendee.gototraining.com/r/5399245676588420610.

Dear Friends,

Holidays are a busy time! Amidst the bustle of wrapping gifts, making travel plans and planning the perfect holiday meal, there is something you can do to help homeless women, children and families experience the joy of the season, too.

Can your organization host a Mary’s Place Giving Tree?

We are collecting 1,000 new pairs of shoes to give as gifts to homeless women and families at our Holly Jolly Holiday party on December 21.

You can help our families experience the joy of giving and receiving by stocking the shelves of the Mary’s Place Santa Store! We need unwrapped gifts for children to give to their parents, and new unwrapped toys for moms, dads, and grandmas to give to their kids.

How does it work?

Place these tags on a Giving Tree in your lobby:

Shoe Tags for a new pair of shoes for homeless men, women, and children. The tags request a $20 donation so we can purchase a discounted gift certificate for shoes on your behalf.

Toy Tags. These tags have the name of a toy that a child at Maryâ€™s Place has asked Santa for. Gifts will be given to homeless parents and grandparents so they in turn can give them to their children and share in the joy of giving this holiday season.

Tags for Mom & Dad gifts. These gift items will be placed in our Santa Store where children will shop for presents for their parents.

Unwrapped gifts and donations should be returned to Maryâ€™s Place by Wednesday December 16th. To order tags for YOUR giving tree, contact Liz at (206) 621-8474 or email her at liz@marysplaceseattle.org.

Thanks to generous supporters like you, the women, parents and children of Maryâ€™s Place will know the joy of the holidays.

Holiday Hugs!

Marty Hartman, Executive Director

Emergency Preparedness Survey 2015

Purpose of the Survey

PRR, in collaboration with the Seattle Office of Emergency Management (OEM), conducted research to:
â€¢Measure the level of awareness and need for preparing for disasters with new and standardized measures for use in future surveys.
â€¢Measure the level of preparedness for the residents of Seattle and the effectiveness of public education programs to educate and motivate people to take action to prepare.
â€¢Compare the survey results to previous studies to determine if the level of awareness and preparedness has changed.
â€¢Determine if there has been change in how people in Seattle receive their information and who influences them to take action.
â€¢Identify if there are trends for particular demographics.
â€¢Identify barriers to preparedness and compare to other research to see if there are new barriers that need to be considered in developing outreach campaigns or programs.
The results of the survey will be used to inform OEM future communication/outreach efforts to further improve the disaster preparedness of Seattle citizens

I have attached the results for us to see. This was sponsored by the Seattle Office of Emergency Managment (OEM)

Seattle announces Safe Routes to School action plan

Sidewalks, safety education for elementary students, 6 more speed zone cameras

SEATTLE (Oct. 8, 2015) â€“ Today Mayor Ed Murray, Seattle Public Schools, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT), and community partners unveiled Seattleâ€™s inaugural Safe Routes to School Action Plan.

Safe Streets, Healthy Schools and Communities is a five-year action plan that guides investments for engineering improvements, education, encouragement, and enforcement around schools in Seattle. It is a first of its kind document for Seattle, developed by a coalition of public agencies, parents and safety advocates.

â€œWith children now back in school, and as the fall rains come, drivers must do more to keep kids safe,â€ said Murray. â€œSeattle continues to invest in the sidewalks, crosswalks and speed cameras that improve pedestrian safety and reduce speeding around schools. All children must have a safe walking route to their neighborhood school.â€

Todayâ€™s announcement was made at Sacajawea Elementary School in north Seattle, one of 12 locations where SDOT completed Safe Routes to School projects in 2015, which include new sidewalks and crossing improvements.

The Mayorâ€™s proposed 2016 budget allocates $5.8 million to support Safe Route to School projects at another 9 schools.

Over the past ten years, more elementary students have been walking and biking to school, growing from 15 percent in 2005 to 24 percent in 2015.

As part of the action plan announced today, every third, fourth and fifth grade Seattle public elementary school student will receive walking and biking safety education through their physical education class. A new partnership between SDOT, Seattle Public Schools and Cascade Bicycle Club will deliver that opportunity beginning next year. Today, only half of Seattle public elementary schools receive bike safety education, and no formal pedestrian safety education program exists.

â€œIâ€™m excited to grow our partnership with SDOT and Cascade Bicycle Club to expand walking and biking safety education to more children through our physical education program,â€ said Superintendent Larry Nyland. â€œMaking sure our students have safe and healthy ways to get to school will help them be poised to learn and contribute in the classroom.â€

Safe Routes to School is funded by fines from the school speed zone camera program, state and federal grants, and the Bridging the Gap transportation levy, which expires this year. Seattleâ€™s school zone speed camera program has generated $16 million for the Safe Routes to School program since 2012.

To protect more children walking and biking to and from school, SDOT and the Seattle Police Department recently installed school zone speed cameras near six additional schools, bringing the total number of Seattle school zones covered by cameras to 14.

Drivers are becoming more aware of new cameras. Over the last two years, the average number of traffic violations per camera per day has dropped 64 percent and average speeds in these zones have decreased by four percent.

â€œNine out of ten drivers who get a school zone speeding ticket donâ€™t get a second one,â€ noted SDOT Director Scott Kubly. â€œThe cameras are protecting children and funding safety improvements near schools, resulting in safer streets for everyone.â€

Safe Routes to School is a core component of Seattleâ€™s Vision Zero plan to end traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030.

â€œTrailblazers:Â The Makers of Modern Turkeyâ€ is the theme for the 15^th annual TurkFest. Musicians from Turkey are the festivalâ€™s special guests, performing popular music that underscores contemporary Turkish music trends. Other performance highlights include music by Group Truva, folkdance by Anar Dana, Anadolu Youth Dancers, Anadolu Turkish Folk Dancers and belly dancing by Janelle. Students from Redmond-based American Turkish Academy perform â€œFamous People & Places.â€

Lectures entitled â€œGreek and Roman Cities of Aegean Turkeyâ€ and â€œArchaeology, Historic Preservation and Museums in Turkeyâ€ connect the modern Turkish state to its ancient past. A demonstration of Ã§ini, Turkish tile art, showcases folk art traditions.

Parks and Recreation seeks nominations for annual volunteer awards

Seattle Parks and Recreation is seeking nominations for the Denny Awards, which honor volunteer service to the cityâ€™s parks and recreation system. The deadline for nominations is Monday, Oct. 19, 2015.

The awards will be presented at a recognition ceremony from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec.1, 2015 at the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field.

The Denny Awards acknowledge and honor the crucial role volunteers play in neighborhood parks, community centers and recreation programs throughout Seattle. In 2014, 36,633 people volunteered for Seattle Parks and Recreation, providing 257,152 hours of service. Though the volunteersâ€™ efforts are invaluable to the department, the Corporation for National and Community Service estimates that the monetary value of a volunteerâ€™s time in the U.S. as $22.55 per hour. That means in 2014, volunteers donated $5,798,777 worth of time to Seattle Parks and Recreation!

Our volunteers do everything from pulling invasive ivy and planting native trees in our parks to coaching kidsâ€™ sports to working as docents at selected parks to serving on various advisory councils and boards.

â€œVolunteers are one of our most important resources,â€ said Superintendent JesÃºs Aguirre, â€œWithout the help of the community, we could not run the first-rate park and recreation system that Seattle loves and depends on.â€

The name of the awards reflects the early commitment by the Denny family to the preservation of parkland and open space for public use and enjoyment. David T. and Louisa Denny donated land that became the first Seattle park, Denny Park, in 1884.

We encourage nominations of youth volunteers, groups serving in parks or recreation, volunteers from Associated Recreation Council, individual volunteers, Friends, community and service groups and business or corporate volunteers.

Denny Awards nominees should meet the following minimum qualifications. The volunteer(s) must have:

Demonstrated exceptional stewardship to parks and/or recreation;
Provided stellar leadership related to enhancing and preserving parks and/or recreation programs;
Demonstrated a significant personal commitment of time and effort to assist Seattle Parks and Recreation; and
Gained respect of community peers for efforts to help Seattle Parks and Recreation.

The nomination form for the award, specific criteria and related information are available by contacting Junior Kitiona, Seattle Parks and Recreation, 206-615-0780, or junior.kitiona@seattle.gov. To download an electronic version of the nomination form, visit: http://www.seattle.gov/parks/denny_awards/.
