Did you know the Aurora Bridge Project cleans 2 million gallons of polluted runoff from the bridge that enters Lake Union and the Fremont Cut each year? Each phase of this multi-year project is possible because of the innovative support from private developers, the State of Washington, The Nature Conservancy, local businesses such as Adobe and Boeing, and Seattle business leaders.

Seattle non-profit committed to saving our salmon & revitalizing polluted waterways. 2M+ gallons cleaned & counting.
关于我们
Clean Lake Union is a non-profit committed to safeguarding Seattle's beloved water ecosystems. Our story began in 2012 when our founding board member, Mark Grey, noticed an oil slick on the waters of Lake Union, tracing its origin to a polluted catch basin–leading to the inception of Clean Lake Union, LLC. Our pioneering solution? Engineered bioretention swales that naturally purify stormwater runoff before it reaches our lakes and rivers. Working hand-in-hand with commercial landowners, developers, and local government, we focus on transforming catch basins and outfalls around Lake Union and Lake Washington, including adjoining canals and bridges. Since achieving our 501(c)3 status as Clean Washington Waters in 2018, we've garnered support from notable organizations like The Nature Conservancy, Salmon-Safe, and Boeing. Together, we strive to foster sustainable water solutions and educate the public on maintaining our water's purity. As of 2023, our community projects are thriving–cleaning 2 million gallons of polluted runoff in Fremont and Wallingford–and more on the horizon. Join us in our ongoing mission to foster cleaner waters and vibrant ecosystems.

The Aurora Bridge Swales have proven effective in cleaning roughly 2 million gallons of polluted runoff annually, protecting salmon habitats in Lake Union. Projects like Watershed are also significantly reducing potable water usage by utilizing rainwater for non-potable needs—a crucial adaptation as the region faces increasing water demand. Additionally, the recently completed Northlake Commons is setting new standards by treating stormwater from areas beyond its immediate surroundings, supported by proactive partnerships. Learn more about these partnerships and how we applied them to several projects in the DJC Sustainability Building and Design Special Section featuring Landscape Architecture Principal and Director of Sustainability, Rachael Meyer, and Mark Grey, founder and president of?Clean Lake Union, partner at?HessCallahanGrey Group, and principal at?Stephen C.
