What the same area of a section of the Queen Anne Greenbelt looked like before and after volunteers cleaned it up during Mayor Harrell’s One Seattle Day of Service, May 20.

Volunteers tackled a multitude of city improvement projects throughout Seattle May 20 during Mayor Harrell’s One Seattle Day of Service, including one team from Queen Anne which joined with We Heart Seattle to clean up the Southwest Queen Anne Greenbelt.
More than 120 volunteers removed trash and debris along the trail, collected hundreds of needles and bagged more than 10,000 pounds of garbage before forming a human “daisy chain” to move it all up the hill to the collection point.
Previously, We Heart Seattle and local volunteers have focused their efforts on other areas in Queen Anne, including Maclean Park and the Northwest Queen Anne Greenbelt in 2020, which they have maintained. They intend to do the same on the Southwest Queen Anne Greenbelt, according to a press release.
