SPU students will clean up Phinney, Greenwood Saturday

September 22nd, 2009 · 6 Comments

Seattle Pacific University students on Queen Anne are starting the school year off with community service projects all over the city, including here in Phinney and Greenwood. On Saturday, 800 SPU students will clean up parks, remove graffiti and fix up houses as part of their annual community service orientation called “CityQuest.”

In our neck of the woods, students and staff will clean up the garden spaces at Columbia Lutheran Home at 4700 Phinney Ave. N. And they’ll clean Taproot Theatre and its touring van.

    I think this is great! What a great opportunity for the students to reach a hand out to their city and be a part of the community.

    Are there any artists in the bunch that can fix the mural under the 57th street bridge?

    Hey, Taproot Theatre, there are things called brooms and sponges and soap. These things can be purchased almost anywhere.
