CHS was pretty busy with Election Night Tuesday but we still found a little time to stop by some Seattle Night Out parties. Here’s who we found out and about to celebrate along the  Pine, Olive Way, Harvard Avenue Triangle.

The City Market and Good Citizen shindigs aren’t necessarily the Night Out prototype. Seattle Police has adopted a national model organizing the event each year to help neighbors meet each other — often the events are based around local block watch captains or groups.

But you don’t have to wait for next August or SPD to close a street or celebrate on a sidewalk. The city supports block parties by making it easy — and free — to shut down your (non-arterial) street.

In the meantime, if you have pictures to share from your Central Seattle Night Out block party, let us know in comments or send us a note via email so we can add your good times to the post.

CHS found Gregg and Alison Holcomb at Good Citzen’s D3 Meet Your Neighbors party.
