Summer
Kick off summer with a beach party where the only thing we’re tossing is trash—into bags, not the ocean:
Saturday, June 27, 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. – Owen Beach, Tacoma
Sunday, July 5, 1:00–3:00 p.m. – Purdy Spit, Gig Harbor– show up for the *dirtiest* beach day of the year and help clean it up
Saturday, August 22, 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. – Thea’s Park, Tacoma
All ages are welcome—we’ll bring the gear, guidance, and good vibes. You bring a couple of hours and walk away knowing you helped make our beaches visibly cleaner and healthier. Join us this July and September at Tacoma Pie Pizzeria for two laid‑back South Sound Sessions to connect with ocean lovers, get local campaign updates, and find easy ways to stay involved between beach cleanups.
