WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!

The Licton Springs Community Council has created a neighborhood survey to hear what issues are of most concern to people in the Licton Springs neighborhood. You can fill out the survey anonymously or include your email if you would like to be entered into the raffle or added to the neighborhood listserv.

Thank you to Salt Blade for generously donating the prize to support Licton Springs!

You can find the survey here. Please respond by January 6, 2020.

We wrote about the need for an Aurora-Licton Urban Village community center earlier this year. Now, we could use your help in letting the city council know about the need for funding for a feasibility study in the 2020 budget. The Licton Springs Community Council voted in support of this initiative.

You can find a sample letter from ALUV here.

If you support the idea of a neighborhood community center, reach out to your elected representatives, and those running to represent you, and let them know! You can reach the city council at [email protected].

Also, if you are available, please attend and voice support at the Budget Hearing on Tuesday, October 22nd starting at 5:30 pm at City Hall (600 4th Ave). Sign-in begins at 3:00.

In addition to getting your caffeine fix at Pilgrim Coffee (located at Oak Tree Plaza) who have expanded their hours to 7am to 3pm, you can now enjoy lunch at food trucks located at North Seattle College from 11am - 2pm on weekdays. The food truck changes each day and you can find the menu here.

Hot dogs, ice cream, jazz music, robots, horses, dogs!

This past Saturday, the Seattle Police department hosted their annual Precinct Picnic, at the North Precinct complete with free ice cream and hot dogs, members of the mounted patrol, canine, bomb squad, and an amazing local jazz band. Thank you to the Seattle Police Department for a beautiful day in Licton Springs!

The need for a neighborhood community center has received a lot of attention during this election cycle. All of the major candidates running for the District 5 council seat have gone on record in support. The momentum is building, and your voice could help make the community center a reality.

At the recent Celebrate North Seattle event at Oaktree plaza, ALUV (Aurora-Licton Springs Urban Village) asked over 120 people what was most important to them about having a community center. The top 10 answers were:

1. Playground
2. Library
3. Pool
4. Large gathering space
5. Sport Court
6. Childcare
7. Senior Activities
8. After school programs
9. Fitness classes
10. Meeting Rooms

Below you can see a 2 minute video of our neighbors discussing why they want a community center:
