Thank you, Sustainable West Seattle, for hosting our website for our first six years of work on safe streets and sustainable transportation for everyone in West Seattle.
SWS is turning us loose, and our old WordPress theme is not working anymore on some web browsers, so we are re-building our website. We’ll be back soon!
We’ll be back soon.
Instead of meeting inside as we usually do on 1st Tuesdays, we will ride to some Night Out parties, celebrating safe streets and safe neighborhoods.
6:30 pm start from Neighborhood House
6400 Sylvan Way SW
meet at the north side plaza.
Come ride if you don’t have a party to go to on your street!
You may know that our #1 priority this year is making it safe to bike and walk in Delridge, getting improvements built into the RapidRide H multi-modal corridor project. Here’s why.
Please lend Emily and Jay a helping hand

My husband was hit by a car riding his bike to work on 6/21 in the Delridge Way SW and Orchard St intersection, June 21st, his femur and hip were fractured in half and was in ICU at Harborview for 3 days.. I’m just really overwhelmed and stressing right now.. I have to admit I am really bad at asking for help because I’ve been such an independent person from a young age. I’m learning now that sometimes help is the only option and so I’m reaching out to groups that advocate for safe bike riding and safe streets for cyclists. I’ve had to really consider if we could make due without my income during this period of time but its become impossible. I appreciate all and any help. More than words can express.

Please send them a little help and encouragement, and donate before you “share”. It’s dollars they need.
Please work with us and our Delridge neighbors to get safe streets for walking, biking, taking transit built into the Delridge RapidRide H Project.
We had a great group of riders. Young, old, and in-between. Everybody made it from Seattle (Street) to Portland (Street) and back to Summerfest!

Saturday, August 26 at 9:30 AM – 12:30 PMStart at Chief Sealth/Birthplace of Seattle monument, Alki Avenue SW & SW 63rd Street
Come join a family-friendly ride through history with Southwest Historical Society. About 10 miles round-trip from the “birthplace of Seattle” near Alki Point to the Longhouse of Chief Seattle’s Duwamish Tribe, who were already here when the Denny Party landed, and still are. Stops for stories along the way.
Arrive by 9:15 for sign in and introductions. Children 15 and under must be accompanied by parent or guardian. Helmets required. No ear buds. We will obey traffic laws and yield to pedestrians on trail.
Sign up in advance here if you want to save time. Check back just before the event for updates and details.
This will be a Cascade free daily ride. Liesurely pace (10-12 mph) on the Alki and West Duwamish Trails. We will stay together, and stop to hear stories at Anchor Park at Duwamish Head; at the water pumping station on Harbor Ave; at the monument to the Croatian immigrant town of Riverside; and at Herring’s House Park/T107 park across from the Duwamish Tribe’s Longhouse. Snacks and exploration there. Ride back. Bring or buy lunch at the beach if you can stay!
We had a great group of 35 riders, from age 2 to 70-something and everything in between. All made it successfully from (SW) Seattle (Street) to (SW) Portland (Street) in about one hour. After a little celebrating and socializing at Portland, we rode back via California to Alaska for a big celebration at the Summerfest!
Good especially to have several adult riders who were just getting back on a bike after many years of not riding. Some strong youth riders, too! 
If you think this looks like fun, come on our August 26 Log House to Longhouse free group ride with Southwest Historical Society!
