Keep Seattle Clean

The City of Seattle has a range of programs to enhance Seattle’s quality of life through clean streets and beautiful neighborhoods. Litter and graffiti are more than eyesores. Seattle rains can wash litter and illegally dumped material into storm drains, which lowers water quality. If graffiti is tolerated, it sends vandals the message that it’s okay to deface property.
