Our community council has joined the city’s Adopt-A-Street program. Starting small, we’ve signed up for these streets:
- Pinehurst Way NE – from Roosevelt Way NE to NE 125th St
- NE 115th St – from 20th Ave NE to Pinehurst Way NE
Our first work party will be Saturday, October 16 at 10 a.m. To get our feet wet (ha ha, this could be literally true!) it will be a small group to assess how it goes, so I am looking for 3 volunteers to round out a group of 4. It shouldn’t take long. I’ve ordered grabbers, rubber gloves, safety vests and a sharps container. If you are interested in helping, please email nancy@pinehurstseattle.org.
At this point I’m mostly interested in picking up litter, not leaves and other natural debris, but we can adjust our plan if we wish as we develop the program. Our commitment is for four cleanup events over the next year. Volunteering for October 16 does NOT commit you to future work parties. 🙂
If you participate, you will sign a volunteer sign-in sheet that gives you insurance coverage during the event. I’ll go over safety precautions with everyone.

Let’s clean up our neighborhood!
