Mountlake Terrace celebrates Earth Day at Ballinger Park

Mountlake Terrace’s Ballinger Park was bustling with activity Saturday morning as more than 60 volunteers celebrated Earth Day by tidying up the park. Residents from Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds and Lynnwood, along with students from Brighton School, picked up litter and debris in the park and also removed weeds from the area near the Hall Creek pedestrian bridge.
