We can think of no more perfect counterpoint to the industrial gash that is Interstate 5 than the sedate and lovely Burke Gilman trail. How appropriate that they run exactly perpendicular to one another.
So let’s pitch in give it a Spring clean this Saturday:
Wallingford / Fremont Burke Gilman Trail Clean & Green
In an effort to promote community volunteerism, support community building, and improve public safety in the area, Clean & Green Seattle – in partnership with the Wallingford and Fremont communities – will pick up litter, remove invasive plants, plant trees, add mulch, and clean and paint out graffiti around the Burke Gilman Bicycle Trail.
Join the Mayor, friends and neighbors. Learn more about climate protection. Volunteers receive compact fluorescent bulbs. Tools will be provided.
Have refreshments and meet at Gas Works Park parking lot.
All volunteers are invited to a free concert April 19. For more info see: http://www.greenapplefestival.com/
Did we mention the mayor will be there?
