The fall season is here, which means rain is right around the corner. The combination of wet weather and fallen leaves is the perfect recipe for flooding so Seattle Public Utilities is looking for volunteers to join their Fall Clean. As part of their Adopt-a-Drain program, SPU will lend you all the cleaning supplies you need to help keep your neighborhood drains clear of debris. That includes rakes, bags, gloves, shovels, brooms and dustpans.
You can pick them up during the following times and places:
- October 24 and 31 from 9am to 12pm at Seattle Public Utilities’ warehouse (3633 E. Marginal Way South)
- October 28-29 from 10am to 1pm at Seattle Municipal Tower in downtown Seattle (on 6th Ave between Columbia St and Cherry St)
To reserve your supplies, call 206-233-7187 or email adoptadrain@seattle.gov.
