Updated with the growing map of locations below: Tonight is the annual Night Out Against Crime, when neighbors across the country gather in block parties to heighten awareness for crime prevention. Here in Ballard, many roads will be closed down and neighbors will spill into the streets, pulling out our barbecues and enjoying each others’ company.
A scene from a 2009 block party.
Not everyone lives on a street that will be holding a party, so if your block is holding a gathering, please list it in comments below (we’re also including comments from the My Ballard Facebook page on the map.)

Also, please send us photos from the event and be sure to give us the cross streets. We’ll put together a slideshow at the end of the night. Send them to: tips@myballard.com.
