Celebrate PARK(ing) DAY in Seattle or Tacoma
Transportation Choices Coalition will be taking over a bunch of parking spaces in Seattle and Tacoma and turning them into parks! And we want you to bring your lunch and hang out at our parks on Friday, September 18th to celebrate PARK(ing) Day, a global day when parking spots temporarily become public parks. It's a day to remember that Parking Spots = Public Spaces. Public space is limited and valuable and its a opportunity to rethink the way we balance the use of that space between people and cars.
