Every Sunday morning, weather permitting, a dedicated team of Adopt-a-Highway volunteers heads out to tackle litter along I-405 in Kirkland and SR 522 in Woodinville. Led by passionate community members, this group of about 10 volunteers has made a remarkable difference removing over 2,100 bags of litter in the past five years.
Clean roads aren’t just about aesthetics. They reflect the pride we all feel in our neighborhoods. Plus, litter left on roadways often ends up in storm drains and creeks, carrying plastics, cigarette butts, and other pollutants into our environment. These volunteers are helping prevent that, one bag at a time.
Their work is a powerful reminder that small actions add up to big impacts. When volunteers step up, Kirkland shines brighter.
