Friends of Alki Beach

Friends of Alki Beach is seeking funding for Phase One of the Alki Avenue Revitalization Project, focused on improving pedestrian safety and supporting small business recovery along the critical "Restaurant Row" corridor on Alki Avenue between 55th to 62nd Streets. This area supports some of Seattle’s highest traffic in the summer. But in the winter with dark neglected park areas and no summer tourists, area restaurants suffer extremely low traffic. As the City repairs long-neglected light posts in this busy but struggling district, this project proposes adding custom-designed flags to enhance visibility, signal positive change, and break the cycle of neglect—addressing the "broken-window syndrome”. These colorful, well-placed flags serve as affordable, high-impact wayfinding tools that make the corridor more inviting, walkable, and vibrant. The project directly aligns with city goals to foster safe, pedestrian-friendly streets and sustain local small businesses.

Discovery of these genes/variants, while extremely valuable, is only a first step in understanding molecular mechanisms of addiction. This Funding Opportunity Announcement encourages basic functional genomic research in two areas: 1. functional validation to determine which candidate genes/variants have an authentic role in addictive processes, and 2. detailed elucidation of the molecular pathways and processes modulated by candidate genes/variants, particularly for those genes with an unanticipated role in addiction. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 grant mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-07-167 that solicits applications under the R21 and an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-07-168 that solicits applications under R03 mechanisms. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.

Georgetown Merchants Association

The Georgetown Carnival is a free, one-day, arts & music-focused street fair centered in Georgetown’s historic business district. The 2025 Carnival will take place on June 14, 12-10 pm, on Airport Way S between 12th Ave S & Corson Ave. The Carnival is a celebration of the neighborhood and its unique place as an artistic and small business haven surrounded by large-scale industry. It brings visibility to the neighborhood artists and businesses, and gives our small residential community a day of fun focused on our special neighborhood. With a residential population of only 1700, Georgetown’s small businesses rely on customers from other parts of Seattle to remain viable. Events like Carnival are vital in increasing the visibility of our local artists and businesses, and create a lasting economic impact by introducing new people to the neighborhood and encouraging them to return. In 2023, we welcomed over 5,000 people to the Carnival, many of whom were first time visitors to Georgetown.

Georgetown Merchants Association

Our project is the revival of the annual Georgetown Carnival. Carnival has been a tradition going on 14 years, with 2023 being it's official return post-COVID. Carnival is a one day music and arts festival, taking place from 12pm - 10 pm along Airport Way S, and 12th Ave S in the Georgetown Neighborhood. Featuring live performances on three stages, booths for local vendors and artists, industrial art displays, and children's activities. The purpose of Carnival is to increase visibility of businesses in Georgetown. The businesses in Georgetown cannot be sustained by our small residential population alone.
