Reported by Eric Huang #Hometown Sammamish Youth Action Group – Community Cleanup
Project (Event#5)
This May, we launched the Community Cleanup Project under the Hometown Sammamish Youth Action Group. As part of this initiative, we will organize a series of cleanup events in city parks, lakes, public spaces, and communities that need attention. We believe this project will contribute to reducing pollution, protecting wildlife, preserving the natural beauty of our surroundings, and fostering a greater sense of environmental responsibility.
On October 14, 2025, the AYLUS Lake Washington Branch organized its fifth community cleanup event along SE 8th Street and the surrounding neighborhoods of Sammamish. From 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM, branch members Eric Huang and Kevin Chen walked along SE 8th Street and through nearby neighborhoods—collecting two bags of garbage, sorting recyclables, and properly disposing of waste.
SE 8th Street is a busy commuter road, and many people enjoy walking, jogging, and cycling along it. We hope this cleanup event contributes to a more pleasant and welcoming environment for everyone in the area. Together, we strive to make our hometown a cleaner, more vibrant, and beautiful place for all.
Branch members who participated in this event:
Eric Huang: 1.5 hrs
Kevin Chen: 1.5 hrs
Advisor on duty: Christine Liu
Location: SE 8th ST. of Sammamish
