  • If there is a legible phone number on an item, a notification text will be sent by a volunteer.

  • Browse photos and videos of current Lost and Found items.

Read-a-Thon

The Read-a-Thon has been cancelled this year, but we’re excited for our other two major fundraisers: the Spring Auction on March 21, 2026 and the Move-a-Thon in the spring.

SDOT Walkways Update

Back in January 2025, the Seattle Department of Transportation held a public walk in Pinehurst with about 25 residents to gather feedback on new sidewalks and walkways. Based on community input and key criteria such as safety, equity, and proximity to schools and transit, SDOT will design 28 blocks of walkways for construction between 2026–2029, with project schedules available by late 2025.
