build community in my immediate seattle central district neighborhood

I’m still interested in building community around my hood, but I’m taking it off as an active goal for now. I’ve made a point of introducing myself to every regular neighbor face I’ve seen around my place. I now know all my direct neighbors and it’s made for pleasant interactions when I’m out in the yard. Speaking of which, I really need to water my yard this week.

about 20 people came over my house last night. we met, we talked, and we drew a map of where averybody’s house was. it was a good first step. anyone else have ideas?

my first thought on how to do this is to have a small shindig and invite peeps that live within walking distance of each other. i’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but kept getting distracted. once the holidays are over i think i will have a small low-key event for the ~12 households that i am aware of near us.
