A friend and colleague reminded me that this coming Saturday, May 9th, is the day for that great volunteer event: The 7th Annual Lake Union Portage Bay Sweep. Sponsored by the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, you'll join boaters, kayakers, all sorts of (but safe) watercraft, plus others working on the shore, cleaning up the waters. Last year over 250 volunteers swept up over three tons of trash from the lake and bay. That's a lot of junk to be floating around and polluting the waters!
You meet at the Lake Union Park at 8:30 AM (east side of the old Armory and out onto the Center For Wooden Boats dock). The sweep (which includes the Arboretum) starts at 9:00 AM ends at Noon when there's a volunteer recognition lunch and an Environmental Fair. Please register in advance, or call for more information: Chris Wilke 206-297-7002.
