We share environmentally focused content including tips, blogs, news, and events for Kirkland, Washington, residences, and businesses. Many departments at the City of Kirkland are involved in environmental work, so we teamed up to make it easier for Kirkland residents to learn about this work. The Kirkland Conserves blog is run by the Storm & Surface Water and Solid Waste divisions. Our focus is on recycling/waste reduction, water conservation, and keeping our creeks and lakes clean – we share relevant content from other divisions related to the Sustainability Strategic Plan.

Our Team

Gena writes from the recycling and waste reduction perspective, and Marisa and Kate represent all things water and pollution prevention. We also welcome guest bloggers from other departments that fall under the Kirkland Sustainability umbrella.
