We’re joined by Ryean-Marie Tuomisto, Water Quality Program Coordinator for the City of Kirkland to get the scoop on free vehicle leak inspections and why they are so important for keeping our lakes and streams clean. We learn why the fire stations are glowing red, put the call out for a deep water exercise instructor, hear about honors for Kirkland’s International Night Market, boost Bike Everywhere Day, and share how to win a trip to Oahu by donating blood. Plus, we preview the next council meeting and other upcoming events like the Downsize and Declutter workshop and the Spring Recycling Event.
