Burke Gilman Saturday clean-up

  • Post author:

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:

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?

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
