Wallingford resident Colleen sent Wallyhood a note about a local hands-on Earth Day activity in our neighborhood. Although, please note: this is scheduled for the day after the official Earth Day (which is Friday, April 22nd).
Come help clean up our local environment! Join Wallingford residents in an Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 23rd from 10 AM to 2 PM to clean the streets of Wallingford between Interstate 5 and Stone Way N. and beyond. People will be meeting at the Wallingford Center.
Please bring food donations for Wallingford‘s Family Works food bank. Fuel Coffee, one of our neighborhood businesses, is donating coffee for the volunteers.
The Adopt-a-Street program through Seattle Public Utilities will provide most of the supplies needed, but Colleen says that it wouldn’t hurt if people were to bring push brooms, and that they could use a weedeater and perhaps a battery-operated blower.
Support comes from Seattle Public Utilities, Family Works, and the Wallingford Community Council, along with other organizations and Wallingford residents.
Thanks to Colleen Kurke for organizing the Clean Up on Saturday and to the 32 neighbors who showed up to help. A very big pile of yard waste bags was piled up for Seattle Utilities to come pick up. Chips were put down in tree pits and some succulents planted that will hopefully grown.
