Volunteers will meet at Boze Elementary School, 1140 E. 65th St., Tacoma, at 9 a.m. and then divide into groups to mark storm drains with a “No Dumping: Drains to Puget Sound” message. Storm drain marking should wrap up by noon. Lunch will be provided for volunteers.

This project is sponsored by City of Tacoma Public Works Environmental Services, Pierce Conservation District Stream Team and Citizens for a Healthy Bay.
