♻️ Ever wonder what happens to your recyclables? Bet you didn’t expect one of the answers to be… clothing 🤯

We’re excited to help Circular Action Alliance share how the new RecycleOn Oregon program is making recycling easier for Oregonians to access and understand.

Curbside recycling services are coming to more than 150,000 households for the first time! Additionally, everyone will have more clarity on what to recycle and more transparency about where materials go and how they get a second life.

That rinsed-out mayo jar? It could come back as clothing, carpet, or another jar. 👕🧵

We were proud to provide support to Cannonball Arts (brought to you by the producers of Bumbershoot) in on its media day yesterday. The contemporary art center is taking over the former Bed, Bath & Beyond space on Third and Virginia, heralding a new era for Downtown Seattle's revitalization. Cannonball Arts leader Greg Lundgren, Donny Stevenson of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, and Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell shared remarks with media. Muckleshoot Indian Tribe members offered a traditional blessing to inaugurate the space. The art center opens Aug. 20 with exciting exhibits like an indoor sculpture garden dubbed "Virginia Park," a rideable, hot-pink nudibranch soft-form sculpture by Stephanie Metz, and live canoe-carving by Native artists.
