Stewardship Partners will conduct a series of classroom training sessions, rain garden installations, and outreach activities to educate local citizens on Longfellow Creek to establish rain gardens and other watershed friendly practices as a means to improve downstream water quality. Stormwater runoff associated with urban development is one of the biggest threats to the water quality of Puget Sound, and up to 75% o the pollutants entering Puget Sound is generated from these sources. Rain gardens infiltrate and filter stormwater on site instead of allowing it to flow off impervious sources and pollute local waterways. This project will focus demonstration installations around neighborhood clusters (adjacent parcels) to demonstrate the benefits of rain gardens in partnership with EarthCorps, Seattle Public Utilities, and others as part of the WSU-Stewardship Partners campaign to install 12,000 rain gardens by 2016.
