Our community council is in the City’s Adopt-A-Street program. We’ve adopted these streets for occasional litter pickup:
- Pinehurst Way NE – from Roosevelt Way NE to NE 125th St
- NE 115th St – from 20th Ave NE to Pinehurst Way NE
Our next work party will be Saturday, May 14 at 10 a.m. We’re looking for 6-8 volunteers. It takes about two hours. I’ve ordered grabbers, rubber gloves, safety vests, brooms and a sharps container. If you are interested in helping, please email nancy@pinehurstseattle.org.
This is a fun event – we work in pairs and have good laughs over some of the stuff we put in our garbage bags. And it’s always nice when a neighbor honks or gives us a thumbs-up for our efforts!
Our commitment is for four cleanup events a year, but volunteering for this event does NOT commit you to future work parties.
If you participate, you’ll sign a volunteer sign-in sheet that gives you insurance coverage during the event. I’ll go over safety precautions with everyone before we start.

Come on and join the party, meet your neighbors and make a difference!
We did it! Seven Pinehurst neighbors picked up three big bags of trash in two hours on a beautiful morning. Find of the day – a bunch of bullets in a baggie. Thanks to everyone who came out!
Nice! Sorry I couldn’t make it this time but hopefully I’ll be there for the next one. Well, as long as it’s not on the same day as my wedding this summer. ^_^
