Tonight is the annual Night Out Against Crime

Updated with the growing map of locations below: Tonight is the annual Night Out Against Crime, when neighbors across the country gather in block parties to heighten awareness for crime prevention. Here in Ballard, many roads will be closed down and neighbors will spill into the streets, pulling out our barbecues and enjoying each others’ company.

Not everyone lives on a street that will be holding a party, so if your block is holding a gathering, please list it in comments below (we’re also including comments from the My Ballard Facebook page on the map.)

Also, please send us photos from the event and be sure to give us the cross streets. We’ll put together a slideshow at the end of the night. Send them to: tips@myballard.com.

  1. We’ll be having a gathering right down the street from boatgeek’s – 25th ave NW between 65th and 67th . We’ll probably start around 6.

  2. 18th Ave between 75th and 77th will be bbq’ing with our old neighbors and hopefully new neighbors. Last year we had wonderful music from neighbors Jerry and Suzanne, we are hoping for a repeat. We start at 6:30.
