EVERETT, WASH. — Celebrate Earth Day with the Port of Everett by giving back to your waterfront! You’re invited to join the Port of Everett’s 32nd annual Marina & Jetty Island Cleanup Day on April 18 from 9 a.m. – noon to help keep the Everett waterfront a clean and enjoyable place to visit.
Whether volunteering solo, with a group of friends, or as part of a larger organization, everyone is welcome to attend. Children are welcome to volunteer as long as they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. Last year 170+ volunteers picked up 1,175 pounds of litter across nearly 100 acres of waterfront and the Port’s 2-mile-long Jetty Island.
A BIG thank you to “Waste Warrior” sponsor Haley & Aldrich.
