Last week, we had a visit to officers working the Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle. This was our fourth year in a row visiting officers at Folklife, so it has become a tradition of sorts and we love it!
The Northwest Folklife Festival has been happening for 50+ years and draws thousands of people from all across region, making for a busy event for SPD officers working hard to make sure it is a safe event for everyone.
We loved meeting some officers for the first time and as always, loved seeing so many familiar faces. This event brings together officers from various units and precincts, so it is always great to see everyone.
A special shout-out to SPD's Seattle Center Unit (in the first photo ๐ธ) for having us and for being such welcoming hosts -- they work specifically at Seattle City Center working Kraken games and all the many events at Seattle City Center throughout the year. We are so grateful for everything they do ๐๐ป
To all the officers working Folklife, we hope the goodies were enjoyed and served as a tangible reminder that you are seen, valued and supported.
To our donors, THANK YOU! 40+ officers work each day of the event and you helped us show them support and appreciation through meat sticks, gum, trail mix, Celsius and so much more!
