Dear Mayor McGinn:

Thank you for sending your representatives to the August 26th East Precinct Crime

Prevention Coalition meeting to present the proposed Seattle Nightlife Initiative. In

attendance were a large and diverse representation of neighbors from Capitol Hill, the

Central District, the Pike/Pine corridor, and several other East Precinct communities.

We understand that there has been an extension of the public comment period. We are

taking this opportunity to provide you with our comments. We, as the Executive Board

of the East Precinct Crime Prevention Coalition, welcome another meeting with you, so

that we can discuss the proposed initiative in more detail. We have reviewed the

materials presented at the meeting and we have many questions and need more

information. We feel that the initiative’s components are insufficiently supported by

factual and strategic elements necessary to be viable and effective.

We do, however, support a vibrant Seattle nightlife and zoning for nightclubs in

business districts so long as the businesses do not impact residents.

The Seattle Nightlife Initiative needs far more discussion and investigation, and we

understand that it may be implemented incrementally.

Finally, we welcome you to attend one of our general meetings to discuss your plan for

nightlife as well as other public safety issues.

Very Truly Yours,

East Precinct Crime Prevention Coalition

Executive Committee

  1. There does not seem to be anything substantive to respond to in this letter. You may want to define what strategic elements you believe would make the initiative viable and effective.

    I like the initiative and look forward to increased public safety (less drunks on the road at once and less drunks on the street at once) and a more vibrant night life. Hopefully in the CD. I wish the Black and Tan would open again!

  2. “We feel that the initiative’s components are insufficiently supported by
    factual and strategic elements necessary to be viable and effective.” If you care enough to put together and publish a public letter, you should care enough to know why you care. This is pathetic.
