Tomorrow (Saturday) is Stairway Spring Cleaning Day! Between 10 to noon, folks will gather at one of 15 stairways around town to yank out weeds, scrape away moss, and trim away encroaching greenery.
The Walks and Events page has a list of Stairway Spring Cleaning locations where you can join a group of friendly people to make a stairway near you inviting and walkable for Spring. Bring your own rake, shovel or clippers!
The previous post describes Stairway Spring Cleaning Day, happening this Saturday, April 26th, at the end of Earth Week. You can make a Seattle stairway near you more inviting, and commemorate Earth Week, by signing up here as a volunteer stairway cleaner!
There's a lot going on around town this Earth Week. For instance, Greenlake's Latona Pub is having all its beer brought in with nonmotorized means - by foot, bicycle and boat. The map below shows some of the participating breweries this year, and lists the various conveyances (horse-cart?).

Washington walkability nonprofit Feet First, also a sponsor of Stairway Spring Cleaning Day, pitched in this Sunday for the fourth year in a row. A group of hard-working, cart-pushing volunteers rolled a keg of Hand Truckin' Amber Ale 11 miles, starting from Two Beers Brewery in SODO. Cathy says it was a great city crawl with good company, and her super-hoppy IPA at the end made a perfect finish to the day.
