| 1 | Mar 1, 2010 4:56 PM | Maybe a film series like Meaningful Movies in Wallingford. |
| 2 | Mar 2, 2010 5:25 AM | I'd love to see regular "Wedgwood Volunteers" events that get lots of neighbors together to pitch in and make our neighborhood a better place. We could get a lot done towards this plan that way without spending large amounts of money. |
| 3 | Mar 2, 2010 3:56 PM | A mini family carnival of sorts |
| 4 | Mar 2, 2010 6:38 PM | I would like to Wedgwood to support a more pro-active agenda on important North end issues, that involve and work other communiti es to achieve a number of livable issues. Wedgwood is not an island, and need to take part in major issues that are impacting our city negatively, such as expansion of highways, Magnuson park revisions, proposed reduction in transit services, new Sound Transit Light rail stations at the Stadium and NE 65th, improvement of the quality of our local schools et. |
| 5 | Mar 2, 2010 7:10 PM | community yard sale, BBQ, Taste of Wedgwood food event with live entertainment |
| 6 | Mar 2, 2010 7:49 PM | Farmers market in wedgwood on 35th! Bring the meadowbrook farmers market to wedgwood! |
| 7 | Mar 2, 2010 10:00 PM | "Meet-and-greets" with community leaders, like the WCC or WVP, in informal/drop-in settings like The Grateful Bread. |
| 8 | Mar 2, 2010 11:48 PM | Farmers' Market in summer months; "Leave it to Beaver Night" with 1950-60s retro food, dress, music and classic car show... |
| 9 | Mar 3, 2010 3:39 AM | ??? |
| 10 | Mar 3, 2010 6:46 AM | Chamber of Commerce meetings, Community events (pancake breakfast, etc) at a local school or church |
| 11 | Mar 3, 2010 7:12 AM | Something for singles |
| 12 | Mar 3, 2010 2:05 PM | 4th of July Parade? |
| 13 | Mar 3, 2010 2:48 PM | invite groups not native to wedgwood to use park or space here for their event ... mediviel fairs or car shows, or anything we can scale into the neighborhood |
| 14 | Mar 3, 2010 3:08 PM | large scale, family play days at Dahl park |
| 15 | Mar 3, 2010 5:02 PM | Swap meet. Or is there one already? For all of Wedgwood, not just a church. |
| 16 | Mar 3, 2010 5:44 PM | Kids carnival on a Saturday |
| 17 | Mar 3, 2010 5:59 PM | Farmers market next to the post office! Let's rent the space as a community from Hunters! |
| 18 | Mar 3, 2010 6:19 PM | I think a big annual bbq once we have the park open. |
| 19 | Mar 3, 2010 6:52 PM | Renew and renovate the Wedgwood exchange (tradiing help). We could have a central place to announce activities that happen, like a focused book club, watching films and discussing them, neighborhood sand lot sports, a big food fair, park cleanup, neighborhood garage sale, even out to lunch and want conversation, c'mon over and play games, etc.etc. |
| 20 | Mar 3, 2010 7:13 PM | Something during December. |
| 21 | Mar 3, 2010 8:48 PM | annual |
| 22 | Mar 3, 2010 8:53 PM | I don't know |
| 23 | Mar 3, 2010 10:16 PM | Not for me.........Probably a good idea for the younger residents.... |
| 24 | Mar 3, 2010 10:57 PM | Community yard sale |
| 25 | Mar 3, 2010 11:07 PM | Annual is probably plenty if you want to keep attendance up. |
| 26 | Mar 4, 2010 12:22 AM | make the social event more family friendly, face panting, balloons, games for children. It's hard to keep the kids engaged. There are lots of kids in this neighborhood. |
| 27 | Mar 4, 2010 1:04 AM | Perhaps something involving live music. |
| 28 | Mar 4, 2010 2:23 AM | maybe a neighborhood wide block party type of gathering |
| 29 | Mar 4, 2010 2:24 AM | The community centers and churches offer some very fine offerings along with the schools. Publicizing these as much as possible would be wonderful and I hope they take advantage of the little Wedgwood Community paper. The Outdoor Cinema (which we were able to attend once) seems to serve like a huge community picnic. |
| 30 | Mar 4, 2010 2:27 AM | Interstitial areas left out of the WCC neighborhood and others are outcasts to even what exists |
| 31 | Mar 4, 2010 2:39 AM | It is nice but usually don't attend. |
| 32 | Mar 4, 2010 3:29 AM | multi-lap bike races? |
| 33 | Mar 4, 2010 5:11 AM | Quarterly perhaps, monthly no. |
| 34 | Mar 4, 2010 6:33 AM | perhaps something more organized about emergency/disaster planning |
| 35 | Mar 4, 2010 7:38 AM | Something fun that gets money to benefit the community. I wasn't here to see the previous ones yet, but it would be fun to have one. Maybe a combination of things to donate money to the community and local business putting up booths or something. Or just local people selling things they are good at making. |
| 36 | Mar 4, 2010 4:56 PM | Farmer's Market! |
| 37 | Mar 4, 2010 5:49 PM | I somehow haven't heard of them before. |
| 38 | Mar 4, 2010 5:58 PM | I'm not against another event |
| 39 | Mar 4, 2010 7:24 PM | Community gatherings are vital to generating a cohesive community feel. |
| 40 | Mar 4, 2010 8:25 PM | folk festivals, host anything new from square dancing to auto shows |
| 41 | Mar 4, 2010 8:39 PM | ourdoor music festival adn dancing |
| 42 | Mar 4, 2010 8:50 PM | ourdoor boy scout events in parks or schools WIFI and technoloogy events |
| 43 | Mar 4, 2010 11:22 PM | music |
| 44 | Mar 5, 2010 12:44 AM | Just a meet and greet kind of thing, an ice cream social, maybe? |
| 45 | Mar 5, 2010 2:21 AM | A farmers' market by the tree farm. This would be more convenient than the current Meadowbrook version. |
| 46 | Mar 5, 2010 2:45 AM | a farmers market or something similar |
| 47 | Mar 5, 2010 3:21 AM | Something simiilar to the brautwurst festival in Wallingford |
| 48 | Mar 5, 2010 3:25 AM | I would like to see the existing community events come together for mutual benefit - i.e. aligning date of Wedgwood art festival with summer movie night |
| 49 | Mar 5, 2010 3:41 AM | A small annual parade that local children can participate in. A Farmers Market. |
| 50 | Mar 5, 2010 7:16 AM | I'd go to a small farmers' mkt & flea market in summer on 80th & 35th. don't know if it's viable with lk cty & udist so close. |
| 51 | Mar 5, 2010 4:13 PM | crime watch/neighborhood prevention issues |
| 52 | Mar 5, 2010 4:26 PM | I am aware of the outdoor cinema but have not gone |
| 53 | Mar 5, 2010 5:22 PM | A community concert! |
| 54 | Mar 5, 2010 7:20 PM | Hard to answer this one since WCC has always said that I am not part of Wedgwood. |
| 55 | Mar 5, 2010 7:35 PM | Maybe a social event. A parade, ice cream social, square dance, or food cook-off competition. |
| 56 | Mar 5, 2010 8:45 PM | Music There was the multi family yard sale that we participated in one year and that was fun! |
| 57 | Mar 5, 2010 10:47 PM | art/book/food. sponsor a night out on the town once a month with art, music and anything we can imagine! businesses could be open. school children could provide entertainment!! |
| 58 | Mar 6, 2010 12:12 AM | Maybe |
| 59 | Mar 6, 2010 1:57 AM | BBQ, |
| 60 | Mar 6, 2010 3:09 AM | Maybe a winter potluck |
| 61 | Mar 6, 2010 4:37 AM | Cinema night more than once a year. Picnics or whole-neighborhood garage sales at Hunter Tree Farm. More boyscout type events like selling compost. |
| 62 | Mar 6, 2010 4:53 AM | monthly outdoor cinema? all-neighborhood garage sales like we have 5 years ago? |
| 63 | Mar 6, 2010 5:24 AM | A "Fiddlers" concert -- or some musical event that ties into Wedgwood history/tradition. |
| 64 | Mar 6, 2010 3:49 PM | not sure |
| 65 | Mar 6, 2010 4:56 PM | I think on-going outdoor cinema in the summer would be fun - not just a one-time deal. I also think a farmer's market with produce, food vendors and craft booths like Freemont and Ballard would be great on a weekly basis in the summer. Maybe some kind of kids event...festival or carnival?? |
| 66 | Mar 6, 2010 5:44 PM | I like the idea of a summer block party. It is nice for families to have kid-friendly events but sometimes these end up being kid-focused. Young people without children don't have a lot in common with families with young kids. |
| 67 | Mar 6, 2010 8:00 PM | rummage sale, plant sale |
| 68 | Mar 7, 2010 2:53 AM | Ice skating during the winter in Magnussen Park. |
| 69 | Mar 7, 2010 3:12 AM | Maybe |
| 70 | Mar 7, 2010 4:36 AM | No specific idea--- I just would love the opportunity to hang out with my neighbors more often! |
| 71 | Mar 7, 2010 5:02 AM | street fair or BBQ, kid/neighbor friendly things |
| 72 | Mar 7, 2010 5:09 AM | semiannual social |
| 73 | Mar 7, 2010 3:20 PM | How to prune your trees, organic gardens, curb appeal classes. proper recycling and yard waste. |
| 74 | Mar 7, 2010 8:48 PM | plant swap, gleaning local fruit trees,garage sales |
| 75 | Mar 7, 2010 10:18 PM | Maybe a sort of "Bite of Wedgwood". |
| 76 | Mar 7, 2010 10:30 PM | Garden in public spaces. |
| 77 | Mar 8, 2010 12:35 AM | Home tour |
| 78 | Mar 8, 2010 3:56 AM | Holiday gift fair, with drinks in the back. |
| 79 | Mar 8, 2010 5:37 PM | Family dance night? |
| 80 | Mar 8, 2010 7:00 PM | Farmer's market |
| 81 | Mar 8, 2010 7:32 PM | An annual carnival, arts fair or community fair would be fun! |
| 82 | Mar 8, 2010 10:59 PM | fair, neighborhood garage sales, |
| 83 | Mar 8, 2010 11:12 PM | Some kind of winter social event |
| 84 | Mar 9, 2010 2:53 AM | Outdoor barbeque in summer? Get togethers hosted by local businesses? |
| 85 | Mar 9, 2010 5:55 AM | Music and food! A harvest fair. A groovy craft fair. |
| 86 | Mar 9, 2010 3:53 PM | I would like more community rummage/yard sales (I remember one across from the Presbyterian Church years ago). |
| 87 | Mar 9, 2010 7:03 PM | Some sort of summer music festival would be great! Or something with events / fun stuff for kids. |
| 88 | Mar 9, 2010 7:52 PM | Anything to do with home maintenance (many of our homes were built in 1942!) and gardening/tree care and planting in Wedgwood. Sustainability events also. |
| 89 | Mar 10, 2010 5:10 AM | Art or food festival---certainly activities for kids |
| 90 | Mar 10, 2010 5:30 AM | indoor January movie? More democratic caucuses? |
| 91 | Mar 10, 2010 4:14 PM | Block watch updates. |
| 92 | Mar 10, 2010 6:33 PM | Maybe a Fourth of July parade along 35th. (Although I'm not positive that would work. I think an awful lot of people in the neighborhood go out of town.) |
| 93 | Mar 10, 2010 8:02 PM | Farmer's Market!! |
| 94 | Mar 10, 2010 9:37 PM | not sure |
| 95 | Mar 11, 2010 1:06 AM | cultural events, music, dances |
| 96 | Mar 11, 2010 2:35 AM | garden tour, community potluck, commercial 'progressive' dinner - kinda like a 'taste' of wedgwood |
| 97 | Mar 11, 2010 5:23 AM | dogfest |
| 98 | Mar 12, 2010 2:56 AM | maybe some kind of fair |
| 99 | Mar 12, 2010 4:03 AM | neighborhood get togethers at local businesses. |
| 100 | Mar 12, 2010 8:57 PM | Farmer's Market would be nice - I don't patronize the Fruit Lady |
| 101 | Mar 12, 2010 9:39 PM | I most likely would not attend but these events I believe are good for the young neighbors and their children. |
| 102 | Mar 12, 2010 9:57 PM | Farmer's market |
| 103 | Mar 13, 2010 2:08 AM | Block party |
| 104 | Mar 13, 2010 7:38 AM | Didn't know there was one. |
| 105 | Mar 13, 2010 7:57 PM | If there was a town square I'd like to see small concerts in the park. |
| 106 | Mar 13, 2010 8:17 PM | Winter festival of some sort (AFTER the holidays) like in February. |
| 107 | Mar 13, 2010 10:05 PM | A farmers market would be fun in the summer - community BBQ in the summer - swap meet/garage sale? |
| 108 | Mar 15, 2010 1:34 AM | Potluck dinner with sing-along? |
| 109 | Mar 15, 2010 3:10 AM | gathering food for a food bank |
| 110 | Mar 15, 2010 11:23 PM | farmer's market |
| 111 | Mar 15, 2010 11:41 PM | Quarterly, around non-religious events |
| 112 | Mar 16, 2010 3:53 PM | Old-fashioned ice cream social. Caroling in the winter? Something to do with the Winter Solstice? |
| 113 | Mar 17, 2010 4:42 AM | No opinion |
| 114 | Mar 17, 2010 9:14 AM | I'd like to be kept informed just in case I get a break from my "issues." |
| 115 | Mar 17, 2010 7:10 PM | farmer's market; holiday craft/art market |
| 116 | Mar 17, 2010 8:09 PM | Young Artists of Wedgwood spotlight. Under 12. |
| 117 | Mar 17, 2010 11:38 PM | I'm not against adding something but it should flow naturally, not be forced by a required schedule. |
| 118 | Mar 18, 2010 3:09 AM | summer bbq |
| 119 | Mar 21, 2010 11:52 PM | I like the idea of an annual outdoor "festival" in the summer - maybe at the parking lot/field by Hunters where there could be a combined garage + arts and craft sale (individuals could set up and sell what they want) + performers could do their thing and perhaps local food vendors could be a "Bite of Wedgwood" - people could drop in and maybe it would run from 2 - 6 or so, on a summer Saturday in latter part of August. |
| 120 | Mar 22, 2010 12:21 AM | neighborhood garage sale |
| 121 | Mar 22, 2010 4:54 PM | It would be fun to have a kid-friendly street fair in conjunction with a summertime event - maybe the Art Festival. Thinking something similar to the Wallingford Kidfest - face painting, pony rides, little carnival games, etc. |
| 122 | Mar 22, 2010 5:31 PM | Do something on 35th like a big barbecue in the Rite Aide or Safeway parking lot or something. |
| 123 | Mar 23, 2010 7:03 PM | Something during the holidays, maybe a sing-a-long or organized walk like at Greenlake. Close major intersections for street parties; more block parties; parties to paint intersections. |
| 124 | Mar 24, 2010 4:44 AM | Wow about a community dance at All That Dance? Could do an intergenerational dance or kids-only or adults-only, etc. |
| 125 | Mar 24, 2010 6:13 AM | Liked the community garage sale held several years ago. What about a small parade coupled with the arts festival w/local businesses & fire trucks. Best one I ever went to was in a community east of Port Angeles, 2 blocks long but very meaningful since it was clear this was the community cheering each other on. |
| 126 | Mar 24, 2010 5:07 PM | Beer, Wine, Food festivals |
| 127 | Mar 24, 2010 8:04 PM | Doesn't matter. |
| 128 | Mar 24, 2010 10:52 PM | We are senior citizens who do not drive at night, so we cannot attend such meetings. |
| 129 | Mar 25, 2010 9:07 PM | Music? Book sale? |
| 130 | Mar 26, 2010 1:15 AM | Something more spicy. Helicopper races ... skydiving into the parks ... make wedwood a drop zone for skydiving or a baloon launch site ... or hold car or boat shows ... anything more exciting ... |
| 131 | Mar 27, 2010 5:01 AM | I think it'd be neat to have more centrally entertaining locations for holiday or seasonal festivals, like Halloween/harvest, spring, and so on. There are thriving Jewish and Christian congregations--it'd be very cool to bring that diversity together and make it more prominent. |
| 132 | Mar 27, 2010 5:01 PM | Annual Cider/Fruit juice press. Barter Fair/Exchange |
| 133 | Mar 29, 2010 1:52 AM | Farmers market, street festivals like Fremont and the U-District have, possibly a sustainability festival or fair. |
| 134 | Mar 29, 2010 4:12 PM | vintage car show |
| 135 | Mar 30, 2010 3:30 AM | Sustainable NE Festival type Event |
| 136 | Mar 30, 2010 4:16 AM | A sustainable living festival, like Ballard's ( Actually I'm involved in making that happen!) |
| 137 | Mar 30, 2010 5:05 AM | Weekend or evening events that are either family oriented or provide child care. |
| 138 | Mar 30, 2010 7:58 AM | Group service projects working on neighborhood improvements. (quarterly?) |
| 139 | Mar 30, 2010 1:53 PM | Puppet show! |
| 140 | Mar 30, 2010 4:39 PM | Social Activism, Classism, Racism, Agism, Sexism, Homophobia, Indigenous Rights, Environmentalism, Spirituality |
| 141 | Mar 30, 2010 6:40 PM | Let's get a Community Solar project going with revenues pocketed by participants or donated to community projects. |
| 142 | Mar 30, 2010 11:35 PM | farmers markets, outdoor cinema, cultural street fairs |
| 143 | Mar 31, 2010 1:47 AM | i don't know, something cool! |
| 144 | Mar 31, 2010 3:46 AM | Children's music concert in the park - it would be crazy! |
| 145 | Mar 31, 2010 4:05 AM | I'm supporting the Sustainable NE Seattle summer event. |
| 146 | Apr 1, 2010 3:09 AM | NOTE ALL RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS WHEN SCHEDULING WORK PARTIES, YARD SALES, AND MEETINGS. IF NOT, WHOLE SUB COMMUNITIES ARE AUTOMATICALLY EXCLUDED FROM THEM |
| 147 | Apr 1, 2010 4:37 AM | Potluck dinners. |
| 148 | Apr 1, 2010 8:22 PM | spring clean up sponsored by/lead by local businesses, summer neighborhood yard sale (perhaps benefiting a charity vs. for profit - either way is fine, though), |
| 149 | Apr 1, 2010 10:02 PM | A weekly farmer's market. |
| 150 | Apr 2, 2010 5:03 AM | more outdoor movies, more kid-centric events |
| 151 | Apr 2, 2010 6:44 PM | Something to do with sustainability and being green. |
| 152 | Apr 3, 2010 6:13 AM | As in my former answer, a Wedgwood 4th of July Parade would be great for the neighborhood spirit. Live entertainment in the summertime at a public outdoor venue would add to the community. |
| 153 | Apr 3, 2010 4:57 PM | Music Festival (Classical and Jazz). Outdoor Plays (Shakespeare in the Park) |
| 154 | Apr 5, 2010 3:41 AM | all-wedgwood garage sale; book exchange; creek (and other) cleanup |
| 155 | Apr 5, 2010 4:03 PM | How about a couple of big organized garage sale days each year? How about an annual day to be able to dispose of big rubbish articles? |
| 156 | Apr 5, 2010 5:32 PM | Dance or Bingo night Farmers market |
| 157 | Apr 5, 2010 8:36 PM | craft sale? garden sale? Farmer's market type of event? |
| 158 | Apr 6, 2010 5:31 AM | Undecided about need for more events |
| 159 | Apr 7, 2010 2:48 AM | Neighborhood work parties? |
| 160 | Apr 7, 2010 4:52 PM | see Laurelhurst neighborhood summer get together at park; possibly schedule with the Art Festival |
| 161 | Apr 8, 2010 3:47 AM | A neighborhood festival where we close down a few blocks of 35th Ave NE and celebrate the people and businesses in the hood. Family friendly, of course! |
| 162 | Apr 8, 2010 4:26 AM | A weekly farmer's market |
| 163 | Apr 8, 2010 5:51 AM | not sure. |
| 164 | Apr 8, 2010 6:50 AM | Possibly. I have been too busy outside our neighborhood to participate much... |
| 165 | Apr 8, 2010 3:34 PM | How about a *carol sing* on about December 1X (maybe Thursday night?) next to Hunter's? Followed by cocoa and cookies in the WP Church basement! Don't mean to leave out our Jewish and other-faith or non-faith neighbors, so let's handle that delicately. |
| 166 | Apr 8, 2010 4:32 PM | Quarterly would seem to be sufficient. Monthly would make you a pest. |
| 167 | Apr 8, 2010 5:48 PM | Was not aware of any such events. |
| 168 | Apr 9, 2010 6:43 AM | Whole community block party somewhere along 35th Ave NE |
| 169 | Apr 10, 2010 5:35 PM | Farmers market. |
| 170 | Apr 10, 2010 9:45 PM | Work parties in local parks and school grounds, art project parties for the public spaces; various club meetings (e.g. book club), public concerts and performances. |
| 171 | Apr 11, 2010 11:04 PM | additional block parties - perhaps one more per year |
| 172 | Apr 13, 2010 10:39 PM | Brown bag discussions about local issues. Concerts (like at the art event) of local groups. Book readings especially local auhors. |
| 173 | Apr 15, 2010 4:31 PM | Wedgwood Farmers market |
| 174 | May 3, 2010 3:13 AM | Octoberfest |
| 175 | May 3, 2010 3:26 AM | book sales/ light eating |

| 177 | May 4, 2010 4:19 AM | Preference for art/music/theaters. |
| 178 | May 6, 2010 4:17 AM | support tree related events that help us care for our trees. Identify and honor beautiful and mature trees. This might help educate people to protect their trees. |
| 179 | May 6, 2010 4:52 AM | coordinated garage sale like Fremont |
| 180 | May 7, 2010 5:43 AM | structured networking events |
