Parks and Public Spaces across the Puget Sound, WA Area Participate in a Campaign to
Engage Kids in Free Indoor and Outdoor Learning Experiences on their Phones.

Participating parks in Seattle include Camp Long, Discovery Park, and Carkeek Park.

In response to the huge demand for free fun active outdoor experiences, partners including: Seattle Parks and Recreation, Metro Parks Tacoma, WSU, Pierce County Parks, City of Lakewood, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, City of Yelm, Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest, Kitsap County Public Works, City of Sequim, and many others have come together to get people exploring, learning, and having fun with their families. The campaign uses Agents of Discovery®, an educational technology platform that enables educators to create their own augmented reality games – think Pokemon Go for parks and education.

The Puget Sound Explorer 6.0 Campaign will run August 1st, 2024 – September 30th 2024. Anyone can join in by downloading the free Agents of Discovery mobile app and completing “Missions”, or games at participating locations. Each Mission is made up of educational “Challenges” that teach players about local history, culture, ecosystems, and even safety. For example, in Tacoma, players can learn about the Mysteries of McKinley Park. At another location, the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, players can learn all about aviation.

Update on Public Safety on Aurora Avenue North

by

Updated: June 22, 2024

From Seattle City Councilmember Cathy Moore’s newsletter:

Following the shooting on North 101st Street that continued on Linden Avenue North to North 96th Street, I had separate meetings with the Mayor as well as residents at North 96th Street and Linden Avenue North.

I conveyed to the Mayor in clear and strong terms the need for the City’s attention and law enforcement resources, as well as for expansion of gun violence intervention programs to the north end. They let me know Interim Police Chief Rahr has made changes in procedures that allow for more emphasis patrols and traffic enforcement on Aurora.

On Wednesday evening I met with residents at North 96th Street and Linden Avenue North, a block off Aurora and the site of a recent gun battle. Deputy Mayor Burgess, as well as the Mayor’s Director of Public Safety, Natalie Walton-Anderson, also attended. We discussed what happened the evening of the gun battle, and increased sex trafficking in the area, and how it is spilling over into neighborhoods beyond Aurora Avenue. We discussed a multilayered approach, including enhanced law enforcement around sex trafficking and gun violence, as well as environmental design including closing alley access, traffic barriers, and additional lighting.

Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) is happy to announce the renovated Bitter Lake play area is open!

The new play area provides many opportunities for children of all abilities, ages 2-5 and 5-12 to explore. Sliding, spinning, zip-lining and climbing on new colorful play equipment are a few of the play options at the renovated Bitter Lake play area. In addition, the renovation made safety and accessibility improvements to meet the standards from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As part of the project new picnic tables and site furnishings were included.

“Seattle Parks and Recreation’s $2.5 million investment delivers a renovated play area, universal accessible restroom facility, and new tennis court light poles for the thriving and diverse Bitter Lake neighborhood,” said AP Diaz, Seattle Parks and Recreation Superintendent. “This play area located adjacent to the community center and wading pool provides a great gathering and community space for all.”

The play area opened on May 24th. SPR anticipates the restroom and remainder of electrical work for the tennis court lights will be completed by mid-July, in time for a community ribbon cutting celebration.  

Bitter Lake Park is located in northwest Seattle at 13035 Linden Ave. N.
