We’ve all passed those Adopt a Street signs on the road urging folks to beautify a block, but we bet you didn’t realize how easy it was to have a little road of your own. ❤️
Here’s how to get started
- Pick a street. Maybe it’s somewhere that’s close to you, maybe it’s somewhere sentimental, maybe it’s just a spot that... needs some help. You can see what’s already taken on Seattle Public Utility’s website.
- Fill out a form. It’s short and should take you just a few minutes. The most complicated question is what you want to name your area.
- Figure out if you’ll need some supplies. Seattle Public Utilities will give you whatever you need — gloves, waste bags, litter grabbers, or a container for sharp objects — for free. Just fill out another little form.
- Get to cleaning. Work on your schedule, just report when you’ve been out there and request a litter pick-up.
