Seattle residents will participate in the 7th Annual Lake Union and Portage Bay Sweep on Saturday, May 9. Local Seattle volunteers, homeowners, businesses, and government agencies will gather to clean up the waterfront shorlines of our in-city waterways.
Last year, the Sweep netted over 3 tons of garbage, beautifying the landscape and cleaning up the waterfront habitat. The waterfront is covered by boaters in kayaks and small craft, and walking volunteers along the shoreline. Trash is then transferred to larger craft and delivered to Seattle Public Utilities for Disposal.
The event is organized by the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, and is sponsored in part by the Floating Homes Association. For more information, contact Chris Wilke of the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance at 206-297-7002.
