About 45 members of the Safe Streets Campaign picket outside a Summit area home 08/30/1989. Safe Streeters believe the owner of the Exeter Arms Apartments lives in the Summit area house. A large group of neighbors suspect crack activity in the apartments. The owner has been contacted by Safe Street volunteers and staff in an attempt to assist the owner in resolving this problem, but his lack of cooperation made it necessary for the picketing.

Charles Carson, 19, (of Tacoma) a member of the Safe Streets Youth Initiative, laughs during his speech, as Governor Booth Gardner shares in the joke. The two were speakers at a press conference at Safe Streets Headquarters where the governor announced grants to communities fighting drugs. Carson, who used to be involved with drugs, said that now he helps young kids stay away from drugs. The laughter came when Carson said that he wants to do this work now, because in 5 or 6 years he'll be 25 and too old to relate to the young kids.
