We’re finding creative ways to make industrial areas in South Park and Georgetown greener 🌳✨

From replacing pavement with trees to installing rain gardens and green walls, we’re partnering with Dirt Corps and ECOSS to add more trees and plants to these areas that have unique challenges to planting 🌱🏙️ Swipe to see transformations ➡️

Local businesses care for these projects on their properties over the long term, and our partners work with community members and youth to maintain projects on public land 🌿

Even as autumn rolls in, leadership is blooming at OSE 🍁 Meet Megan Doiron, our deputy director!

Megan has been with our team for nine years, most recently as our finance manager. As a born-and-raised Seattleite, Megan started her career at the City by supporting data and finance for Fresh Bucks 🍎 and our other food access programs. She then served as a senior grants administrator.

After stepping into her new role as deputy director in July, Megan sat down with Director Lylianna Allala to talk about their paths to OSE and leadership, how OSE has grown with them, and how we can create opportunities for others to grow, too ✨ Megan is kicking off our new series showcasing our team members and their leadership journeys at OSE! 🌱

It’s back-to-school season, and fresh fruits and veggies are making their way to Seattle Public Schools 🥕🌱

Through the Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program, the City of Seattle’s Seattle Office of Sustainability & Environment and Seattle Public Schools Culinary Services provide free fresh produce snacks, from tropical fruit to seasonal vegetables from local and BIPOC-owned farms, to students at 35 Seattle Public Schools 🥬

Delivering those fresh snacks are local produce distributors like Cascadia Produce, Food Oasis, and International Rescue Committee's New Roots. These vendors are Buying with Purpose by helping connect Seattle Public Schools with local farmers and bringing a wide variety of fresh produce to students. 🏫

What do ginkgo and honeylocust trees have in common? They're making one neighborhood cooler, greener, and healthier 🍃

We joined a tree walk in the Chinatown-International District (CID) led by Karia Wong, community impact director CISC More than two dozen families and elders learned about the cultural significance of trees and gave input on where they’d like to see more of them. Many participants said it was their first time noticing the trees, but not their last! 🌳

Our Foresting Seattle program partners with community to grow tree canopy, restore green spaces, create youth employment opportunities, and support community leadership. Through walks like these, the Foresting Seattle Neighborhood Team is grounding community tree planting recommendations in neighborhood priorities, cultural context, and guidance from experts 🌱

TODAY — We released the City of Seattle's 2024 greenhouse gas emissions inventory. Emissions declined between 2022 and 2024, continuing a long-term trend of reducing climate pollution while the city has grown.

We’re leading the development of Seattle’s Climate Action Plan update, a five-year plan for the City to accelerate emissions reduction, prepare for climate impacts, and build a healthier Seattle for everyone.
