Mary and Linda cutting down tall grass in the median

The weather was perfect for our late fall clean sweep event along 14th Ave NW. We had 22 volunteers who picked up 9 bags of trash, 7 bags of yard waste and filled 3 large yard waste cans of leaves that were blocking the storm drains. Waffles, fruit, coffee and hot apple cider donated by The Ballard Market kept us fueled as we picked up trash from NW 65th all the way to Salmon Bay. Amazing work!

Special thanks to The Ballard Market and especially Kelley in the deli who prepared all the donated food for us!

Thank-you Kelley!
