This Friday, August 21, Seattle open-water swimmer Mike Hodel will swim from Ray's Boathouse across Puget Sound to Fay Bainbridge Park — touch Bainbridge Island, turn around, and swim back.

10 miles. One swim.

Mike crossed the English Channel in July and completed the 20 Bridges swim around Manhattan last week. Now it's time to bring the adventure home to Seattle to raise $10,000 for Puget Soundkeeper.

To track the swim online and to contribute to Mike's $10,000 goal in support of Puget Soundkeeper, please visit: https://mtyc.co/75qlig

Join our next Escaped Trash Assessment Protocol (ETAP) Cleanup!

ETAP is part cleanup / part community science project. The first hour will consist of a cleanup near the creek. In the remaining hours, we'll sort, categorize, count, weigh, and photograph the debris we find. The data collected at ETAP is then used to improve water quality standards and support anti-trash legislation.

Tuesday, August 4
2 PM - 5 PM
Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks Park, 100 Reiten Rd, Kent, WA 98030

🌟 Now recruiting beach captains! 🌟

Through collective action, community engagement, and data-driven advocacy, the Sound Sweep Series aims to reconnect residents with their local waterways, while creating healthier aquatic ecosystems throughout the Puget Sound region.

This Sound Sweep season includes cleanup events 9/1 - 11/30.

After the Series, Puget Soundkeeper will produce an annual report consolidating data from the cleanups across Puget Sound where International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) data was collected.

Last weekend, volunteers joined Puget Soundkeeper and the River Access Paddle Program in the Upper Duwamish to remove debris from the river and its shoreline 🛶

This cleanup included the removal of an astounding 575 lbs of tires. Tires are a source of 6PPD-Q, which is highly toxic to aquatic life and there is emerging evidence to suggest it may also be harmful to human health 🛞

We are so grateful to the people who spent their Sunday taking care of their community with us. 🩵
