A group member reached out to see if we could address an abandoned house on her block that is overgrown and providing cover for illegal activities in the neighborhood. The police have been called several times in the middle of the night on people trying to break into the house.

Although there is some garbage to pick up on the property as well as around the block, this will mainly be a sprucing up of the property by removing overgrowth and reducing cover for trespassers. Blackberries have taken over the front yard and back fence line, and grass is choking out the sidewalk.

Our group’s friend is hopeful that by opening up the property she and her neighbors can plant a garden in the yard to further deter people from coming in. This will be a very positive and fun clean to take on and will make a measurable impact on the neighborhood. Many hands should be able to eradicate this mess in a couple hours.

Parking & Meet-Up
We should be able to find parking along Delridge Way, just cross at the corner (SW Brandon) if you park on the west side of the street as the median is overgrown. I’ll have my phone on me if you need to reach out at 206-852-9552.

5216 Delridge Way SW needs Sprucing!
