In remembrance of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, there will be various events around Seattle.

King County Executive Dow Constantine and Mayor Mike McGinn will be attending the Remembrance Ceremony at the Seattle Center where community leaders, first responders and elected officials will attend national moment of silence.

Executive Constantine and Mayor McGinn will be joined by speakers to offer brief remarks of remembrance on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

The ceremony will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the Mural Amphitheatre at Seattle Center and conclude in a procession to the International Fountain to join in the observance of the national moment of silence in remembrance of September 11, 2001 which will occur at 10:00 a.m.

The ceremony will include a musical performance by Angelo Pizarro and will be attended by the Consul General of Canada. Elected officials and representatives of public safety first responders from Seattle and throughout King County will join the ceremony.

Also on Sunday, September 11, the Meadowbrook Advisory Council and Seattle Parks and Recreation present A Day of Remembrance and Service to Others at Meadowbrook Pond, NE 107th St. and 35th Ave. NE.

The public is invited to Meadowbrook Pond any time on Sunday, from dawn to dusk, to walk the paths, find a place for quiet contemplation or meet neighbors. There will be several interactive displays and thoughtful prompts to help people reflect and also look to the future. It has been said that the best way to remember those who died on 911 is to “Live, love and laugh in their honor.”

Meadowbrook Pond offers a beautiful setting that will allow people to remember the tragedy and how we can live our lives in the best way possible from here on.

Another way to honor people is to use this day as a day to do something for others--something for the community or the environment on this day that is also known as Patriot Day.

The Friends of Meadowbrook Pond are having a work party on Saturday, September 10. To get involved, please contact their group for more information at https://sites.google.com/site/friendsofmeadowbrookpond/home
