Volunteers are standing by ready and willing to help! It’s easy to make a service request. Just call 206-484-5014 or email: Services@northwestneighborsnetwork.org  We look forward to hearing from you!

House Number Visibility = Safety

In an emergency, every second counts. Be sure that emergency services, police, fire, medic, ambulance, and crime watch volunteers can read your house numbers.

The best numbers are:

  • Visible on the house and from the street.
  • Constructed using contrasting colors to distinguish the background and the numbers
  • At least three inches tall.
  • Visible at night
If your house numbers need a refresh in the new year, contact services@northwestneighborsnetwork.org and we'll send someone to help!
