Seattle Summer Parkways are two events occurring in September that open up the city’s largest public space – our streets—for people to have fun, celebrate the spirit and personality of their community, discover active healthy transportation, connect with their neighbors, and support local businesses.

These events are taking place over the course of two weekends this month. We have a three mile route in the Central District on Saturday September 12, from 11 am-3 pm and a seven mile loop in Ballard on Saturday September 19 from 11 am-3 pm.

Because Seattle is a people powered city, the event will be hosted with the help of numerous local organizations and volunteers. Volunteering fosters civic pride and demonstrates your investment in Seattle’s vitality, livability, sustainability and diversity.

Would you, your group or organization like to volunteer to help make this exciting event a success? Volunteers will receive delicious snacks, water, a cool Summer Parkways t-shirt, and a prestigious new addition to their resumes. We are happy to offer stipends to groups or organizations who are able to make the commitment to help us make this event a celebration of community that will engage and energize our neighborhoods for many years to come.

It's not easy to put on events this big and volunteers are essential to making Seattle Summer Parkways events a success! There are many different types of volunteer opportunities--intersection superheroes, mobile mechanics, info booth ambassadors, pre- and post-event helpers and more! (Please see attached list.)
