Calling all crafters: Costume-making project for Costumes with a Cop Sept. 21 - Lynnwood Today

The Lynnwood Police Department is collaborating with the Family Peace Association to launch a Costume-making Project on Saturday, September 21, from 9 a. m. to 12 p. m. at the Pacific Peace Center.

The event invites community members to contribute by donating new or gently used costumes and participating in crafting workshops for the "Costumes with a Cop" Giveaway taking place on October 5. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own sewing machines and crafting supplies, including fabric, glue guns, and scissors, as the department will only supply basic crafting materials. Lynnwood police spokesperson Maren McKay has highlighted the importance of community involvement, stating, “The hope and goal is that people will come and craft while they’re there. ” This initiative not only aims to provide costumes for children in the community but also seeks to foster positive relationships between the police force and local residents. By encouraging participation in this project, the police department aims to create a sense of community and support.

The event serves as a timely reminder of the importance of collaboration and engagement in local initiatives. Residents looking to contribute to a good cause while enjoying a creative experience are encouraged to join in.
