Upcoming Events
Alki Beach Cleanup
We received a special cleanup request from the Jewish Community at West Seattle Torah Learning Center for a morning clean along Alki. We’ll be set up at the Bathhouse / Statue of Liberty so come out and join your neighbors for a community cleanup. The WS TLC event will be from 10am to noon, but we’ll leave the station up all day.
Spruced! / Constellation Park
This week’s King Tides have floated lots of styrofoam beads up onto higher area of the beach, sidewalks and even into the street. We’ll use this timely opportunity to try and scoop up what we can.
Winter Fiesta / La Chingona Taqueria
Hi all, Jill is organizing our second Winter Solstice dinner to celebrate all the great work we've collectively done together, and this year we'll head back to La Chingona Taqueria on Avalon by the WS Bridge to celebrate our work in 2024!
Cottage Grove – Recovery Garden
We'll head back to the Cottage Grove Recovery Garden to help Susanna, the garden’s steward, Spruce up the garden and the surrounding neighborhood. The past month we’ve have helped weed and then plant natives into the beds. We’ll focus on wrapping up the invasive removal and mulching this week.
Diagonal Street End
We’ll help Mary with the sbəq̓ʷaʔ (sbaqwah) Diagonal Ave Park and Shoreline Habitat which is south of the West Seattle Bridge by a mile or so. It’s a cool park with a little cove for litter pickup and a little pocket park that we can Spruce and tidy up.
Highland Park Way Trailhead
We’re heading back to the trailhead along Highland Park Way where we did the big tire and illegal dumping cleanup over the Summer. We can do a general cleanup of the trailhead and get what appears to be abandoned camps.
Duwamish Trail
We've cleaned up at Marginal Place multiple times over the past several years due to the high traffic from illegal dumping and wire stripping. The cleanup will be in the cul-de-sac, under the WS Bridge and along the bike path and surrounding areas.
Me-Kwa-Mooks
We’ll head back to Me-Kwa-Mooks this week and help Bonnie put in new plants in the upper area of the park and work on more ivy removal. This will be a fun opportunity to be on the restoration side of helping out this beautiful park.
Afternoon Spruce! / South Lake Union
Hi all, Matt is a group member who reached out about helping with some cleanups he's been doing with friends in South Lake Union. It's an interesting area that has lots of tech businesses, new apartment & condos, p-patches, parks, right alongside older, run-down buildings and lots of unhoused folks.
