Volunteers needed to clear storm debris at King County's Marymoor Park

The lights may be back on and the roads cleared, but the impact of December's windstorm can still be seen throughout the grounds of King County's beautiful Marymoor Park in Redmond.

King County Parks is in dire need of volunteers to help clear away fallen tree debris within the regional park. Two work parties have been scheduled:

  • Saturday, Jan. 6, from 9 a.m. to noon; and
  • Saturday, Jan. 13, from 9 a.m. to noon

Work will include picking up limbs and branches and stacking them in piles, or loading them onto trucks, plus raking leaves and clearing walkways. Volunteers are asked to dress for the weather and bring work gloves.

Individual volunteers and groups are welcome. Separate work parties for large groups can be accommodated.

To sign-up for a work party or for more information on this or other King County Parks storm clean-up projects, contact Laurie Clinton, King County Parks Volunteer Program Coordinator, at 206-296-4452 or laurie.clinton@kingcounty.gov.
