Volunteer for the North Beach Auction

March 12th

If dressing up and bidding on items isn't your thing, come volunteer on the night of the event and be a part of our community behind the scenes. No experience required! Know any neighbors, friends, or family members who might want to volunteer? The evening is fun (bring a friend!), builds community, and is a great way to support North Beach.

Volunteer for the Auction of our partner school, Loyal Heights Elementary

March 26th

North Beach has partnered with Loyal Heights Elementary to trade parent volunteers to work the night of each other's school auction. Loyal Heights has committed the same number of volunteers to our auction. By signing up to staff another school's auction, you are keeping this volunteer partnership alive.

Our very own North Beach 4th/5th Grade Leadership Team is launching March Spirit Month.

The theme for 2022 focuses on the importance of Black Health and Wellness. This theme acknowledges the legacy of not only Black scholars and medical practitioners in Western medicine, but also other ways of knowing (e.g., birthworkers, doulas, midwives, naturopaths, herbalists, etc.) throughout the African Diaspora. The 2022 theme considers activities, rituals and initiatives that Black communities have done to be well.

Northwest Seattle Little League ("NWSLL") opened for registration on December 1st!

NWSLL has served our local NW Seattle neighborhoods since 1959 and is chartered through Little League Baseball, offering a variety of divisions for baseball and softball as well as numerous volunteer opportunities. NWSLL’s boundaries extend from Puget Sound to I-5 and from 85th Street to 145th Street. And our home fields are at Soundview (next to Whitman), Crown Hill (off Holman Road), and Northacres (near Haller Lake).

On-time registration for Kid-Pitch players (league ages 8 thru 12, where league age is age as of 8/31/22) runs through January 26th. For league age 8 players, typically half play Kid-Pitch ball. Registrations after January 26th is accepted as slots remain available (our website will indicate if roster slots remain in a division). Our Kid-Pitch age players (ages 8 and up) have Evaluation Day on Sunday, February 27th to assist in (1) determining if an age 8 player is ready for Kid-Pitch, (2) placing players as appropriate in AA, AA, or Majors, and (3) creating balanced teams. Those teams will be created in early March.

For players league age 8 and younger (who play Coach-Pitch or Tee-Ball), teams start up later (early to mid-April), and registrations is open through mid-March. We form teams around March 20th, so register by then to make sure you get any buddy requests granted. Coach-Pitch and Tee-Ball events are typically held at our Crown Hill Field on Holman Road. Lastly, NWSLL liberally grants scholarship requests to families in need of assistance. Our goal is to help every kid play ball who wants to enjoy the game with friends!
