Water safety is a critical part of childhood development. Programs like Swim Seattle are helping address disparities in swim lesson access by creating space for more youth of color in the South End to feel safe, confident, and empowered in the water. southseattleemerald.org/news/2025/07/0…
Seattle youth now have access to free telehealth therapy services, reducing barriers to mental health support. We’re working collaboratively with students to ensure both in-school and virtual services support their well-being, resilience, and success. seattletimes.com/education-lab/…

Summer is in full swing with parades, concerts and city pride: Bite of Seattle, Seafair Torchlight (Sat.), Morgan Wallen concerts (Fri./Sat.). Skip the traffic with transit! Streetcar runs late Saturday, plus more bus, train and Water Taxi service. bit.ly/45h3JAZ
It's a busy weekend! Bite of Seattle. Seafair Torchlight Parade. Morgan Wallen. And lots of construction😣 Plan ahead: Revive I-5 lane closures on the Ship Canal Bridge and a high volume of travelers = traffic congestion across the region. What to know: sdotblog.seattle.gov/2025/07/24/big…
You don’t always see us, but we’re always out there. While we increase services during big events, our work continues year-round. So far in 2025, we’ve removed over 2.4 million pounds of waste and 280,000 sharps from public spaces.
Good news: the new Alaskan Way protected bike lanes opened for travelers today, connecting the Waterfront to Elliott Bay Trail. Project info and details: seattle.gov/transportation…

It was an incredible time at the Chinatown Seafair Parade this weekend! From the iconic 100-foot dragon to traditional dances and inspiring performances, seeing our community gather to honor culture, history, and pride is a beautiful reminder of Seattle’s vibrant spirit.




We joined neighbors on July 12 for One Seattle Day of Service. From storm drain stenciling to litter pickup and tree care, our teams were proud to support the community. Together, we helped care for our neighborhoods and protect local waterways.
Seattle’s Real Time Crime Center is proving to be a vital tool in solving crimes and improving emergency responses. Public safety remains our top priority, and this initiative shows our commitment to creating safer neighborhoods for everyone in Seattle. harrell.seattle.gov/2025/07/15/sea…
