Adopt-A-Drain

Join volunteers across the city who are maintaining storm drains, a critical part of our utility infrastructure.

Participants commit to removing leaves from their local storm drain. By joining the Adopt-A-Drain program you help:

Prevent flooding in your neighborhood by keeping drains free of debris.
Keep pollutants from entering streams, creeks and Puget Sound, which protects fish and other wildlife.
Assist drainage crews maintaining the city's thousands of storm drains, expecially during fall months when rain increases and falling leaves block drains.
Clear your drain only if it is safe. If the drain is still clogged after you’ve removed the debris, call our drainage problem hotline at (206) 386-1800 to report it.
