Lake Forest Park is Now an Adopt-a-Drain Community!

Lake Forest Park introduced the Adopt-a-Drain program to fight stormwater pollution, inviting residents to volunteer for the maintenance of local drainage systems. This initiative aims to enhance the health of nearby water bodies, particularly Lake Washington and the Puget Sound. Scheduled for November 15, 2025, the event encourages community involvement in environmental protection efforts. Volunteers will play a crucial role in preventing pollution, thereby improving the quality of local ecosystems. Officials highlight the program's significance in fostering community engagement and responsibility towards environmental stewardship.

The initiative aligns with broader environmental services goals within King County. By adopting drains, residents contribute to cleaner waterways, benefiting both local wildlife and public health. The program reflects a proactive approach to addressing pollution challenges in the region.
