Join REI and United by Blue for a cleanup of Lake Washington at Lower Colman Park! This local gem features a large waterfront recreational area with a bicycle trail, fishing & scenic vistas. Help us preserve this peaceful, urban sanctuary.
United By Blue and REI will provide water, trash bags, supplies, and gloves for volunteers. All volunteers will also receive an exclusive REI Steward t-shirt and have the chance to win prizes during two cleanup games: weirdest trash find and total weight guess.
Please wear closed toe shoes and clothes you don't mind getting dirty or wet. If you are able to, biking to the event is encouraged!
