Scott Park on August 15th, or the association-sponsored Children’s Clothing Swap at Arleta Triangle Square on August 23rd; there’s always plenty to do in Mt. Scott-Alreta — and the Neighborhood News is your best source for staying up-to-date!

Check us out on our Instagram @mtscottarleta for the latest neighborhood updates!

Also all are welcome to come meet the the new Mt. Scott-Arleta Neighborhood Association Board at the next neighborhood meeting! As we welcome four new board members, we meet every first Wednesday at 6:30pm at the 72Foster Community Room (5005 SE 72nd Ave, behind Red Castle Games).

Kids Clothing Swap

Bring your clean, gently used children’s clothes to the Arleta Triangle Plaza this summer!

Children tend to outgrow clothes long before the clothes are done being worn. Let’s get the most use out of our things and support our community. All gently used clothes not taken by our community will be donated to NW Children’s Outreach.

Wanna help us with this? DM us on Instagram if you can volunteer at this event or at the donation site afterward to help sort clothing, or if you have clothes you’d like to donate but can’t make it to the event.
