“Clean & Green Seattle projects are a great way for a community to come together. We are a city of vibrant neighborhoods, and Clean & Green helps people, city departments and community organizations to solve problems.”
Mayor Greg Nickels
“Clean & Green Seattle” is about working together to make Seattle a brighter, cleaner place—one neighborhood at a time. By connecting neighbors with the city departments, non-profit organizations and private enterprises that can help them, we can make our communities more inviting for everyone to use.
