Spruced! / Marginal Place

  • Marginal Place 3600 SW Marginal Pl Seattle, WA, 98106 (map)

We've cleaned up at Marginal Place multiple times over the past several years due to the high traffic from illegal activities and dumping. The area has been cleared of a long time RV encampment, but there’s still lots of trash in the cul-de-sac and on the hillside from illegal dumping and wire stripping. The area around it is pretty trashed and there is too much cover to allow this continued behavior.

The cleanup will be under the WS Bridge and along the bike path and surrounding areas. The mission will be to create a safer environment for bicyclists and pedestrians who use this area to pass thru on their commutes and to reduce cover and increase visibility of the surroundings to make activity more out in the open and hopefully less appealing to do "business". Currently garbage, broken glass, and many discarded items make this a hazardous area to travel.

For those interested in the Spuced! aspect of the cleanup there are blackberries to take down and other weeds and brushy growth that we can reduce to enhance visibility and pile on-site to biodegrade.

Most of the cleanup area is flat and easy to navigate thought there are also hillside and stair activities for those who feel comfortable in those areas.

Parking & Meet-Up
We can park all the way up into the cul-de-sac, I'll get there early and blow the roadway so we won't be parking atop garbage. I’ll have my phone on me if you need to reach out at 206-852-9552.
