Tell your neighbors and Friends! See ya this Saturday 10am-1pm for Adopt A Street Clean up along 14th Ave NW. Meet us at Blowing Sands Glass (corner of 14th Ave NW and NW 58th St), meet your neighbors over a cup of coffee and help clean up your neighborhood!
Your tax-deductible donation to Groundswell NW through Seattle Foundation’s giveBIG event today will support Groundswell NW’s mission to empower NW Seattle to create, activate and care for parks, open space and habit. Supporting Groundswell NW today will enable them to continue providing mentorship, fiscal support and advocacy for community groups like the EBCA.
All contributions to Groundswell NW will be matched proportionally during this 24 hour period – in other words, the more friends and supporters like you who give to Groundswell NW, the more The Seattle Foundation will stretch those gifts from their own GiveBIG pool, increasing the impact of every donation made today (May 3).
Please show your support for the East Ballard Community Association and Groundswell NW today!
Join Groundswell NW this Saturday, May 7 from 10AM-11:30AM for a leisurely Jane’s Walk tour through the West Woodland/East Ballard neighborhood. Jan Satterthwaite, landscape architect and Groundswell NW board member will guide you on a walking journey through NW Seattle, looking at how the built and natural environment shapes the experience of wildlife and people sharing our neighborhoods. Together, you will discover unique local plants of use for wildlife and share wildlife experience stories. The tour will start at the West Woodland Elementary (5601 4th Ave NW) playground rain garden. From there you will walk approximately 4 blocks to the East Ballard rain gardens on 11th Ave NW/NW 57th St. From there you will walk about 12 blocks to the 11th Ave NW Street End Park and then circle back to West Woodland Elementary. The grade is flat most of the way, so the habitat crawl should be easy for most salamander and small mammal-types.
For more information about this walk and more happening throughout Seattle during the weekend, check out the official Jane’s Walk site at: http://janeswalk.org/.

Picking up trash is a lot more fun than it sounds and is something the whole family can do together. This is a great opportunity to make our neighborhood a nicer place to live. Plus you get to wear a brightly colored EBCA logo vest! We’re looking forward to seeing you Saturday May 14 from 10am-1pm at the corner of 14th Ave NW and NW 58th at Blowing Sands Glass. Coffee and treats from Ballard Market will be on hand to keep you well-fueled!

The Happy Ballard Windermere Family
A big thank-you to Windermere Ballard for saving up Ballard Market receipts for the EBCA! That big envelope of receipts you delivered to us the other day will result in a $245 donation from the Ballard Market as part of their 1% giving back to the community program!
Collecting receipts where you work is a great example of how you can make a really big impact on the East Ballard Community! These funds will help us pay for upcoming community events, pay for watering/weeding of the median planters along 14th Ave NW and amenities for the future park.
So, keep those Ballard market receipts coming in!
Here’s how you can participate:
It’s that easy! Start saving today to make a difference tomorrow!
Happy Birthday Ballard Market!
