More than 1200 blocks across Seattle will be closed to traffic tonight so neighbors can participate in Seattle Night Out, part of the National Night Out Against Crime.

We’ll be celebrating and snapping some pics around the neighborhood (though our block’s party isn’t until this weekend). Please send us photos of your block party so we can publish a roundup later tonight or the next morning.

And our news partners, The Seattle Times, will be compiling stories and pictures from Night Out parties around the region. You can tweet a report and photo (via Twitpic), and use the #nwnightout hashtag so they can see what people are up to.
