It’s the 46th District Democrats’ annual Summer Picnic, now turbocharged with a special District 5 Town Hall!

You'll still ENJOY ALL THE ACTIVITIES you know and love:

• Snack and connect with fellow 46th LD neighbors! 
  
  
• Activities for the kids! 
  
  
• Mingle with our elected officials! 

• Hear from our endorsed candidates! 

• Pick up your PCO doorbelling materials! 

• Learn how to get involved with campaigns! 

NEW this year, we're leveling up the PICNIC MENU with:

• Slow-cooked beef brisket sandwiches
  
  
• Hearty vegan chili
  
  
• Classic hot dogs (veggie too!) and tasty sides

All lovingly prepared by our very own members!

And lastly, BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND, we're bringing back The Summer Picnic Scavenger Hunt! Find the sponsor or candidate who matches each fun fact and redeem for swag!

But wait, there's more!!

From 4 to 5pm, we’ll shift gears for a special DISTRICT 5 TOWN HALL!

With Councilmember Cathy Moore's resignation on July 7, this is a unique opportunity for D5 residents to come together, share their vision for our district, and meet some of the applicants for the vacant seat. Your input will also be shared with the Seattle City Council as they prepare to appoint a new representative.

No ticket is required for the Town Hall, but your RSVP will help us better plan for the event!

So what are you waiting for??

RSVP today, and make plans to join us on Saturday, July 12 at Northgate Community Center!

SOS: We need Volunteers to make this event the best one yet!  

Your help makes a big difference, and there are plenty of ways to pitch in:

• Bring a folding table or water dispenser 
• Monitor a station or sign-in table
• and more!

Together, we’ll create a welcoming, energizing space to connect with neighbors, support our candidates, and kick off the election season in style. Thank you for being part of this work!

FYI: Your sponsorship can support the endorsed candidate of your choice! 

Sponsorships come with a variety of benefits (see them here!). And as a non-candidate sponsor, you can gift certain sponsorship benefits to the 2025 endorsed candidate or campaign of your choice! (name badges, scavenger hunt answer, sign and table allocation only)

For example: Five (5) $100 sponsorship can count as a $500 DaKobed (Glacier Peak) Sponsorship. The chosen candidate can then be gifted the shared campaign table, 2 custom name badges, inclusion in the Scavenger Hunt to encourage members to visit their table, and 10 campaign signs displayed throughout the picnic

This is just another way you can support our endorsed candidates and campaigns! And remember – sponsorships fuel our GOTV efforts. The more we raise, the more voters we reach!
