Puget Sound hosts Livable Communities fair. Hundreds of people attended a Livable Communities Fair held in Seattle WA in November by the King County Safe Communities and other area communities, as well as FTA and other modes to promote walking, bicycling, transit and other safety concerns. Thousands of dollars were raised for bike helmets and to support the Cascade Bicycle Club's Educational Outreach Program. Safe Communities administered from the county engineering department. The area's injury problem reflects its large senior and child populations, its geographical location, and its summer tourist season.
Children are at risk in cars, on the street, and in the water.
Older adult injuries are most prevalent in cars and in the home.
