You may have noticed several gardening tools, rakes and watering cans included, popping up around the neighborhood over the last few months. They are the work of Picture Perfect Queen Anne, a volunteer-based organization dedicated to revitalizing the neighborhood’s business district streetscape–Queen Anne Avenue from Galer to McGraw St.

PPQA has, with support from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods and the Office of Economic Development, built benches, consolidated newspaper boxes, and greened curbside bulb beds along Upper Queen Anne. And now they’re asking for community support to continue the work they’ve done.

As part of their Green Gateways campaign, PPQA hopes to raise $16,000 to continue the greening of Queen Anne’s main business district intersections, Galer and McGraw, by buying drought-tolerant plants and two years of maintenance and watering. As of November 16, they are $5,764 closer to their goal. For more information, or to make a donation, click here.
