The Clean and Green Event in Magnolia over the weekend drew a big crowd of volunteers willing to clean up the neighborhood. Over 75 people came to the city sponsored event to help with a variety of clean up activities.
The group, including Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, planted shrubs in the traffic triangle between Bartells and the new townhomes, picked up trash in The Village and did general clean up duties around the areas of Government Way, Gilman, and Thorndyke Avenue.
There group included a number of young people who were hard at work along with their parents.
Pam Lewis from Sustainable Magnolia helped organized the event. She says if Magnolia residents would like to Adopt-a-Street in the neighborhood or help keep The Village clean they can click here.
Pam says her group wants to make sure The Village and major roadways in Magnolia don’t become so dirty again.
Congratulations to the volunteers who gave up their time on Saturday to get this work done. We were in The Village yesterday and thought it looked great!
