Seattle Escorts: Everett Neighborhood host 4th annual festival
About 1,000 people attended and hundreds volunteered – Christ’s Place Church had about 200 volunteers at Sunday’s event.
Four live bands played. Free food was served. Kids could play games, jump in a bounce house and get their faces painted. They could also sit in a police cruiser and learn fire safety.
The Everett neighborhood has had a bad rap over the years, said Anderson-Sifuentez, who has lived there since the 1970s. But neighborhood organizations are working to change stereotypes.
“There’s a perception that there is not stability in this neighborhood,” she said, “but that’s not true.”
The late afternoon festival was along E Street outside the Nebraska Family Council house, which helped host the festival.
In August 2007, the Nebraska Family Council renovated the house which had been used by drug dealers and prostitutes.
