The East Precinct is holding a street party this Saturday on 12th between Pike and Pine Streets. Come by to eat some food, say hi to your neighbors, and meet your local police officers. I hear that there may also be some K-9 dogs and police horses. Hope to see you there!
East Precinct Picnic
Saturday, June 19
Noon – 7pm
Ever wonder what the inside of 12th Avenue Iron looks like? Catch this really cool upcoming event on May 21st there. It is the annual fundraiser for ARCADE which is a great northwest architecture and design journal. I went to the party last year and it was an awesome gathering of cool designer peeps (way cooler than me), great music, performance and beautiful auction items. Please check it out, tickets can be purchased at the link above.
Capitol Hill Housing joined artists and neighborhood supporters at Velocity Dance’s move from the Oddfellows Building to their new home at the former CHAC space on 12th Avenue this Saturday. The parade was not only a celebration of the new space but also a way of moving chairs from the old space to the new. It is amazing what a bunch of balloons did to make this chair-carrying group quite the spectacle on Capitol Hill!
Congratulations on the sweet move Velocity! Welcome to 12th Avenue!
Be sure to check out Velocity’s free dance classes this week!
Don’t forget! There is a parade and party to celebrate Velocity Dance Center’s move to 12th Avenue this Saturday! Capitol Hill Housing (along with tons of neighborhood folks and the Mayor!) will be part of the parade. We’ll see you there!
Parade: 5pm starting at Oddfellows Hall (10th Avenue and E Pine Street)
Ribbon Cutting: 6:30pm at Velocity Dance Center’s new location (12th Avenue between Pine and Olive)
Three Ring Circus Party: 7:00pm at Velocity Dance Center
All events are free and open to the public.
Velocity Dance Center will be moving from its current home at the Odd Fellows building to its fantastic new location at 1621 12th Avenue (the old CHAC space). To celebrate their move in style, Velocity is leading a *parade* from the Odd Fellows building at 5:30pm on March 27th to the new space followed by a ribbon cutting and a Grand Opening Party starting at 7pm. We hope that you check out the parade and join in the continued festivities at the party. This party is free and open to the community and will have feature performances and testimonials from local artists and supporters.
The Grand Opening continues with free classes March 28-April 3rd!
