From the SPD Blotter:

A woman was assaulted after confronting two people casing her neighbor’s home near Greenlake last last month, and police are now seeking the public’s help identifying the two suspects.

Police were called to the 900 block of North 82nd Street on May 31st after the victim saw a man and a woman outside her neighbor’s house and believed they were casing the home for a future break-in.

The victim confronted the suspects and quickly became involved in a confrontation with the female suspect, who pulled the victim to the ground by her hair. The victim’s neighbors rushed to her aid and called police. The suspects fled toward Aurora Avenue.

The victim sustained cuts, bruises, a possible broken nose during the assault.

Police obtained surveillance of the two suspects, who were described as a black female in her 20’s, with bleached blonde and black hair, wearing a white hate, brown tan hooded jacket, jeans, and carrying two bags. She was accompanied by a white male in his 20’s with dark hair, wearing a black jacket, a white hooded sweatshirt, long tan shorts, carrying a black backpack.

If you have any information about this incident or the suspects, please call the SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.

It’s time to comment on any environmental concerns for the housing and retail project planned for the Greenwood site where several businesses exploded due to a natural gas leak two years ago.

The project will take over most of the west side of Greenwood Avenue North between North 84th and 85th streets, although the building housing the much-lauded FlintCreek Cattle Co. restaurant will remain.

The new project will bring a six-story, 72-unit apartment building with ground floor retail and parking for 38 vehicles. The existing buildings at the south end (where Better Hearing, Kouzina and Insurrection Performance used to be) will be demolished.

You can email comment through June 27 to PRC@seattle.gov. Be sure and reference project # 3025261-LU.

Seattle City Councilmember Mike O’Brien will be at Tuesday’s Greenwood Community Council meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. at the Greenwood Library, 8016 Greenwood Ave. N.

O’Brien’s attendance was scheduled long before the recent head tax controversy and before the May 2 meeting on housing, homelessness and taxes in Ballard that our sister site MyBallard termed “an angry shoutfest.”

Mike O’Brien represents the Sixth City Council district, which generally includes the portion of Greenwood south of 85th St. We expect he’ll want to discuss current issues he’s working on and answer questions.

If he’s willing, we have a twist to throw in: We’d like to give a few people a chance to pitch a great idea, a win-win solution for Greenwood or Seattle…

What’s your issue?

What’s your idea?

What could the City Council do about that?

Summer Blood Drive from 1-7 p.m. Friday at the Phinney Center, 6532 Phinney Ave. N. Walk-ins welcome (closed 3-4 p.m.)

Seattle will join cities across the country on Tuesday, Aug. 7, for the national annual Night Out Against Crime, which brings neighbors together.

Seattle Police Department just opened registration for neighbors to sign up for block parties that will close off streets that evening so people can get to know each other and talk about crime prevention. Last year, Seattle registered more than 1,300 Night Out events.

You can register your block party here.

The Department of Neighborhoods has funding available to support your Night Out event. The Small Sparks Fund provides matching dollars for neighborhood-initiated projects that promote community engagement. Community groups can request up to $5000 to help fund Night Out planning and activities. The deadline for applications is Tuesday, June 26th at 5:00 p.m. For information on the application process, visit www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/nmf, or call 206-233-0093. The Small Sparks Fund is open to applications year-round.
