Tidy Uptown, the all-volunteer monthly clean-up committee of Uptown has been hard at work to keep the streets of Uptown clean and litter-free. Thanks to the help of many volunteers, we will be participating in the City of Seattle's Adopt-A-Street program to solidify our commitment making Uptown a clean, safe, and litter-free place to enjoy, starting from Counterbalance Park!

Our next clean up will be another Trashy Hour on Aug. 17. We will meet at 5 p.m. at Counterbalance Park and collect garbage for an hour before heading to Happy Hour at Fast Fashion Brewing right next door from 6-7 p.m.

If you'd like to participate in upcoming clean-up efforts, in addition to Tidy Uptown clean-up events, email Lisa Power at lisa@lisapowersalon.com
