Community Cleanups

Board Chair: Erik Bell

Got a passion for the environment? Erik Bell joins Alki Community Council as Chair of Community Cleanups. His love for the environment and cleaning up Alki Beach and now surrounding parks and spaces is founded in brotherly love. Literally. Little did Erik and his brother Garet Bell know that a few years ago, their desire to reconnect as brothers by meeting up on weekend mornings to pick up trash on Alki Beach would grow into an entire movement in Alki and West Seattle to clean up areas in need.

Erik inspires many as he has organized and welcomes new faces to come together at A Cleaner Alki. We’re thrilled to grow our leadership team with servant leaders who dig in and get er’ done. Click the image to see upcoming events.

ACC will be partnering to pair foodie fun with a few Alki cleanups from time to time as well. So please email us at hello@alkicommunitycouncil.org to let us know if you want to support that planning.

In the meantime, take a look at the story Alki Community Council President Charlotte Starck and KOMO 4’s Eric Johnson did with the brothers as they were getting started in a feature on Eric’s Heroes.

You never know the great things that can happen when we celebrate the good in our neighbors.
