Plants blocking the sidewalk? Here's what to do.
At Wednesday’s Green Lake Community Council meeting, a question was raised about neighborhood sidewalks: If plant life is taking over a sidewalk and causing obstructions, what should be done? An answer was quickly provided by many in attendance: Contact the City of Seattle’s Customer Service Bureau. The Customer Service Bureau can be reached by phone at 684-CITY (2489) or via an online form. Several Green Lakers have had a quick and helpful response after contacting the city this way.
