Seattle Municipal Court, along with social service providers, are hosting a Community Relief Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, at the Jefferson Community Center, 3801 Beacon Ave S. in Beacon Hill.
Community members will get help with addressing SMC warrants and setting up payment plans or community service plans to address Seattle tickets. Assistance with setting up payment plans for King County traffic tickets will also be available, along with a wide range of supportive services from partnering organizations.
“Community Relief Day is going to be an amazing resource event, thanks to the organizations that are coming to provide helpful services,” said Linh Le, Equity and Engagement Program Specialist at SMC.
SMC will be helping with quashing SMC warrants and SMC ticket options, and other organizations will be providing support in navigating other legal fines and fees, continues Le.
Nonprofit FareStart will be giving grocery vouchers to the first 100 participants, and the City of Seattle’s Office of Emergency Management will be handing out emergency backpacks.
