Upcoming Events

The purpose of the Sustainable Stormwater Symposium is to provide stormwater professionals an elevated understanding of current stormwater planning, design, and implementation approaches, as well as an opportunity to connect and mingle with others in the industry.

Registration Link: https://bit.ly/Sept29RW Contractor Sign-up: http://tinyurl.com/RWcontractor Description: Learn about how cisterns help stop polluted runoff! In this webinar, you will learn about cisterns, large above-ground containers used to collect roof water. You’ll also get to hear about their benefits in Seattle, specifically how they help reduce combined sewer overflows and how they can be used for summer landscape irrigation. After the presentation, you’ll have the opportunity to meet different RainWise contractors in breakout rooms to ask them specific questions about your home and potential projects.

While we would love to meet in person at the farm, we believe it’s safer to enjoy Feast on the Farm from our own homes. Join us virtually on Saturday, October 2nd, 2021. This year, your gourmet meal kit will be available for pick up at a drive-through location. 

We are excited to announce that Nyssa Tanner, Owner, Nyssa’s Kitchen, Mutsuko Soma, Owner and Chef, Kamonegi, and Grant Rico, Chef de Cuisine, Hitchcock, will be preparing this curated meal using wild sockeye salmon from Bristol Bay donated by Pike Place Fish Market, sustainably grown farm-fresh produce from Full Circle Farm on Griffin Creek and bread from Macrina Bakery. We will also include other local artesian goodies such as coffee from Caffe Vita and treats from Hello Robin. Novelty Hill wine and a cocktail featuring Tito’s Vodka will be accompanied by music by Seattle’s own The High Seagrass and stories from the field.

All gatherings will take place on Zoom and require pre-registration. The conversations will not be recorded so we can share honestly about our experiences, ask questions and engage with one another. We are hopeful to build connections across our county and region and create a web of resources to empower each one of us to act in ways that benefit our environment and slow the effects of climate change. Each discussion starts at 7 p.m. and resources will be sent out in advance to the interested email list. More info at: https://snohomishcd.org/carbon-crushers
