Only rain down the drain! LWSD students learn about protecting our shared waterways

The City of Kirkland and Rainworks teamed up with Muir Elementary and Kirkland Middle School to help spread the word about pollutants found in stormwater runoff. To highlight the impact of stormwater pollution, the city’s Storm & Surface Water Division installed temporary, eco-friendly art on both campuses. These designs appear when it rains, offering a fun and memorable reminder that storm drains carry water – and pollutants – directly into our lakes and rivers.

A stencil on a wet sidewalk in the foreground depicts animals and the message %22Animals live and play here too Protect their home Don't Pollute Lake Washington,%22 with dappled sunlight and shadows from trees in the background.
