Report

The Sweep

Sweeping Kayakers

On May 9th the seventh annual Lake Union, Portage Bay and Union Bay Sweep was held. Once again, the Floating Homes Association was a prime sponsor of this Puget Soundkeeper Alliance event.

Over 260 volunteers, riding in kayaks, canoes and motor boats and walking the shore, collected nearly TWO TONS of trash! Thanks to all the houseboaters who volunteered for this year's Sweep!

New PSA Director

And speaking of PSA, The Puget Soundkeeper Alliance has announced that Bob Beckman is coming on board as its new Executive Director and Puget Soundkeeper.  He succeeds long-time Puget Soundkeeper and Executive Director, Sue Joerger who successfully guided PSA for the past decade. FHA looks forward to our continuing environmental partnership with PSA.
