A street clean-up for 14th Avenue Northwest is planned for Saturday April 18 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The meeting place for the event, planned by the East Ballard Community Association, will be Blowing Sands Glass art studio at 5801 14th Ave. N.W.

Meet neighbors for coffee and breakfast snacks, then work side by side for a couple of hours to tidy up 14th Avenue Northwest.

After the clean-up participants are invited to lunch together and talk about ongoing and upcoming East Ballard activities.

Tools and trash bags will be provided by the city. Refreshments will be provided by Ballard Market. Come dressed for the weather (rain or shine).

The East Ballard Community Association would like to expand the clean-ups to include 8th Avenue Northwest. They are looking for volunteers in the area who might be willing to start a clean-up party on that street.
