Protecting local streams, creeks and lakes can be as simple as volunteering to stencil storm drains in your neighborhood.
When it rains, some storm drains flow directly into Puget Sound or the nearest stream or lake, carrying the hazardous chemicals, pesticides, paints, antifreeze and used motor oil illegally poured down storm drains.
You can help keep pollutants out of storm drains by volunteering to stencil storms drains with the message:
Dump No Waste
Drains to Stream, Lake or Bay
