CALL TO ACTION: Voice Your Concerns About Public Safety and Economic Recovery to City Council

Over the past two months, SODO businesses have been adversely affected by break-ins, theft, property damage, violent offenses and other significant public safety impacts. This same scenario is playing out all across the City and it’s important to voice your concerns with Mayor Harrell and the Seattle City Council.

To that end, please take a moment now and send an e-mail to your elected officials, or register to provide a public comment at next week’s Economic Development, Technology and City Light Committee.

Whether you are a business owner, property owner or a resident, now is more important than ever to share an experience you’ve had that articulates the need for an increased emphasis and new strategies to keep our city safe.
