National Night Out, Free Concert: Today in Shoreline, Lake Forest Park

National Night Out is billed as a chance for citizens to "take back the night" on the first Tuesday in August and show solidarity with their neighbors with events that build community and help crime prevention efforts.

Various neighborhoods are planning events Tuesday, Aug. 6, (hopefully you’ve gotten your permit if you plan to close your street in Shoreline; Lake Forest Park registration info is available here).

Here’s what’s on tap for Aug. 6. Feel free to add your NNO event in the comments or our events calendar.
