Yesterday, Saturday November 17, residents of Jackson Park met with Mayor Greg Nickels to address our neighborhood concerns.  We met at the P-Patch and toured the path to Jackson Park Golf Course. From there we headed down 135th Avenue NE to NE 15th Avenue where his van picked him up to visit the next neighborhood on his agenda for the day.

It was a good visit as he listened intently and put us in touch with city representatives to assist us with our concerns.  He was pleased about our focus on our Neighborhood Disaster Preparedness Plan and branded us "hearty" for weathering the pouring rain to visit with him.

Funny, how that torrential downpour always seems to happen just as you are walking out the door as it was in this case, just minutes before he arrived.  As some of us walked back home we noticed one of several water flow areas that does not run to the drain properly. Mitchell and Roy rerouted the water as a temporary solution.

I feel lucky and proud to live in a neighborhood with wonderful and caring neighbors!
