Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Seattle Police Department are holding an in-person community meeting to discuss ongoing after-hours parties at Golden Gardens Park. The city leaders who will be present are:

• AP Diaz, Seattle Parks and Recreation, Superintendent
• Alex Ricketts, Seattle Police Department, Chief of Staff
• Daisy Catague, Seattle Parks and Recreation, Deputy Superintendent

Background on this issue: there have been over 30 LOUD all-night parties at the park/boat launch since May with amplified music for hours into the early morning, alcohol/drug consumption, then leaving trash and property damage behind. Despite neighbors’ efforts to report these incidents there have been NO citations issued by SPD.


Currently there appear to be no consequences for ignoring park rules. Concerned neighbors are proposing security measures such as better lighting, mobile security towers, vehicle towing when parked illegally, and issuing citations

Have you ever been sailboat racing?

Many boaters at Shilshole race their own boats or crew for others. There are major (all day) races almost every weekend during the spring and fall and more relaxed (1-2 hour) races during the summer.  If you have never tried racing, you are missing out on a great way to improve your sailing skills, which will greatly enhance your cruising -you’ll sail more efficiently, sail faster and do less motoring.

We have a couple local clubs that give you an opportunity, with no experience or cost as crew, to get out on the water and work as a team. It’s as simple as showing up on time, having warm dry clothes and lifejacket, listening to the skipper and the more experienced crew, and showing an interest. It’s not a party: it’s a fun, competitive team sport.
