Seattle, WA Rain Garden Installation

• Date: Dec 12 2011 Time: 13:01
• Description:
  With support from the Seattle Chapter Surfrider Foundation and local volunteers, we installed a +/- 150 SF rain garden at a residence in the North Seattle area. The garden was designed to mitigate 36% of rooftop runoff. Since Seattle averages a fantastic 36" of rain/ year, that saves about 6300 Gals/ Yr of untreated storm water from flowing into Piper's Creek - a local Salmon bearing tributary to our highly sensitive and ecologically important Puget Sound.
