Hello again! Always so much going on in Roosevelt!

Free Trees!

Seattle Public Utilities is offering free trees including free delivery, watering bag, mulch, and training.  They are also offering an opportunity to see the tree species available.  This is a sweet deal and they have a very limited supply of trees.  If you are interested, I would recommend submitting an application as soon as possible.

Trees for Neighborhoods – Trees | seattle.gov

Applications for trees are only open through July 31!

Roosevelt Reimagined

The Roosevelt Neighborhood Association is installing temporary artwork on fences along NE 65th St to beautify the vacant lots. 


We are hosting community paint days on Sat 8/1 and Sun 8/2 from 10am-2pm at NE 65th St and 14th Ave. We will be painting wooden flowers and a larger piece designed by local artist Anna Tono to be installed on the fences. 


We are also looking for volunteers to help with installing yarn art designed by local artist Christian Rincon, preparing materials, or prepping the fences.

Hello Roosevelt neighbor!

We’d love to have you join us for the upcoming Emergency Hub exercise – ‘Quake, Rattle, and Roll’!
* Saturday, August 15, 2026
* 10am to 1pm 
* All Nations Church, 6801 Roosevelt Way NE

This will be a large, hands-on drill filled with interesting situations that could realistically happen after a major disaster. Participants will help work through challenges, share information, solve problems, and practice supporting one another when normal services are disrupted.

If you’ve wanted to know how an emergency hub works this is your chance!No experience necessary. You can simply observe, ask questions, or join in.There are three other sites in the City of Seattle.  See the details below.
More details here. (If the sign up for public participation fills up, come anyway!!)

Please mark your calendar and consider inviting a friend or neighbor to attend with you. The more people who participate, the more realistic and useful the drill will be.

If you’d like a reminder about the event, register here

We hope to see you there!
