RainWise: How Seattle Homes are Managing Rain Water


Are you interested in beautifying your yard this Spring?  In areas throughout Seattle (designated as drainage basins), property owners can get up to a 100% reimbursement for beautiful and functional landscaping and rain water cisterns through the Seattle Public Utilities’ and King County’s RainWise program!

This rain garden in Beacon Hill was installed
with the help of Sustainable Seattle in 2010.
If you live in the neighborhoods of Ravenna, Bryant, View Ridge, Laurelhurst, Wedgwood, or Windermere, you may be eligible for these rebates – which average $4000!  When you install a rain garden or rain cistern through RainWise, you will be helping prevent pollution from entering Lake Washington and Puget Sound.  You can check out your eligibility now at www.rainwise.seattle.gov.

Sustainable Seattle’s Green Blocks Blue Sound (GBBS) program is excited to partner with Seattle Public Utilities to bring RainWise to you.  As a non-profit partner, Sustainable Seattle wants to help you access this great opportunity.  

Join us for a RainWise Open House on May 13, 6:30pm (doors open at 6pm) at the Center for Spiritual Living, 5801 Sand Point Way NE.
