Spring Neighborhood Clean

The Laurelhurst Community Club (LCC) recently published information about the City's yearly Spring Clean in its newsletter.

The Spring Clean is sponsored by Seattle Public Utilities along with Seattle Parks and Recreation, Department of Neighborhoods, and Department of Transportation.

Residents can use this form to sign up and receive City support to clean up an area in the City.

Past projects in the neighborhood have included weeding work parties, including Waterway #1, a parcel of waterfront property located where Northeast 35th Street meets 43rd Avenue Northeast. 

Long ago it was used as a boat launch for one of Seattle’s mosquito fleet ferries, the Laurelhurst Launch, which shuttled folks from Laurelhurst to Madison Park and back. Now it is a public access to observe nature, walk dogs, and launch non-motorized boats.

Neighbors have also spruced up traffic circles, medians and other public spaces, specifically in the Town of Yesler area, median on the Boulevard and the pedestrian island at the corner of NE 41st Street and Surber Drive.

The LCC newsletter article said:

Spring into Action for Neighborhood Clean Up 

Let’s keep Laurelhurst looking good! Why not grab some friends and beautify a spot that needs some tlc?  Seattle’s Spring Clean cleanup program is in full swing. In past years neighbors rolled up their sleeves and worked on clean-up projects for traffic circles, street ends, pedestrian islands, and other work parties. The city supports Spring Clean of public spaces with free resources from Seattle Public Utilities, including bags, gloves, safety vests, transfer station passes, and waste pick ups. Even if you don’t need the city’s services, it’s good to register to promote visibility for your project.
