National Night Out will be Tuesday, Aug. 1, and heres how to register

National Night Out will take place on August 1, 2023, promoting neighborhood camaraderie through block parties nationwide. Burien anticipates hosting over 25 events, bringing together community members, law enforcement, and local officials. Residents can register online or via email until July 14, 2023, to ensure police and fire department attendance, as late registrations may miss out on these services. In a related community safety concern, Tukwila Police announced a $5,000 reward for information regarding the murder of Jashawna Hollingsworth, who was shot and killed in November 2021. The tragic incident not only affected Hollingsworth's family but also raised awareness about local crime issues.

Community engagement through events like National Night Out may help strengthen neighborhood ties and enhance safety awareness. Organizers encourage both long-standing and new participants to get involved in the event. Addressing local crime while fostering community spirit is essential for Burien residents.
