Everett: McCollum Park walking tour
Experts are offering a free walking tour at 7 p.m. Monday at McCollum Park, 600 128th St. SE, to show how runoff affects local waterways.
When it rains, pollution including oil, grease, pesticides and pet waste washes off streets, parking lot
s and other hard surfaces into local waterways and Puget Sound. That can harm the health of birds, fish, whales and people.
Scientist and engineers have developed practical and proven ways like rain gardens, permeable concrete and natural filtration practices to prevent and reduce the flow of polluted runoff.
The tour along North Creek is free and open to the public.
