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.

It's an interesting mix of contractor manicured properties right next to illegal dumping and areas of blight. We'll seek out heavy lifts where we can find them and pick up incidental trash along the way and see what we can accomplish in this inaugural collab.

Parking & Meet-Up
Parking is a little tight around the area but I was able to find a place to park the van today to scout. If you have a hard time with spots at the meeting spot (Café Hagen), head a bit east towards REI and I-5 which may prove more open. Feel free to reach out at 206-852-9552 (Erik)
