YOU CAN HELP! Delridge beautification projects during ‘Find It, Fix It’ Walk

| Delridge | How to help | West Seattle news

From the Nature Consortium, which is looking for volunteers to help with this during the two-hour Saturday period that coincides with Mayor Murray‘s visit for the “Find It, Fix It” Walk:

Let’s Beautify Delridge!
Saturday, October 3rd at Delridge Way SW & SW Findlay Street in West Seattle
11 am-1 pm

Join us this Saturday, October 3rd for Mayor Ed Murray’s visit to Delridge for the Find It Fix It Community Walk. Find It Fix It is a campaign to help improve neighborhoods one block at a time.

We’re proud to announce that this year Nature Consortium has been selected to lead two neighborhood beautification projects along Delridge Way Southwest.

These curbside plantings on Delridge & Findlay are in need of extra care. Four planting strips were installed last year by SDOT in response to community request, but they have not been maintained and are now overgrown with weeds. This spot is an eye-sore and does not reflect the pride and care of Delridge area residents.

You are invited to join your neighbors on Saturday to beautify Delridge! We will be removing weeds, placing weed barrier fabric and mulching the planting strips. Saturday’s event will be the first step in a longer term effort that will provide raised planter beds for neighbors to garden and will result in a plan/schedule for maintenance of these mini public spaces. Tools and snacks provided.

Sorry, didn’t catch that. This is a direct cut and paste but unless spelling is relevant to the subject and source, we do try to correct typos in the interest of not perpetuating misspellings … fixing now.

So, it’s this parking strip that’s going to be re-done with raised planting beds ?

Fall is the best time of year for establishing plants in the ground and also a great time of year to keep your eye out for lots that are to be bulldozed and developed. I make myself conspicuous with fluorescent work vest and along with shovel dig up my favorite northwest native plant the sword fern. I would be happy to donate one or two rescued over this past year or more.

Thanks! I didn’t get to comment on the article chemist linked to, but I have 3 small kids and my family definitely benefits from being able to walk more easily to the restaurants at that intersection.

Sorry, comment time is over.
