A close-up shot of three people on a sidewalk, appearing to be engaged in conversation. A man in a blue cap is gesticulating as he speaks to a woman in a maroon shirt and a woman in a white hat. The woman in the white hat holds a sign that reads "End the Chaos Corruption Cruelty," with what looks like red paint splatters representing blood drops. Several other protest signs are visible on the ground, including one that says "SAVE PBS & NPR" and another that reads "LIBERTY JUSTICE FOR ALL!!!" with the text upside down. In the foreground, a black bakfiets (cargo bike) is visible. On top of the bike's front cargo box is coffee-serving equipment, including a carafe. Next to the coffee service is a box of Top Pot Doughnuts on a milk crate.

Another man in a blue hat is talking to a couple of people standing nearby. The group is surrounded by several protest signs on the ground. A black bakfiets (cargo bike) is in the foreground, with coffee-serving equipment on top of its front cargo box.

Love volunteering with the Green Kirkland Partnership! It's so satisfying to see our parks transform from overgrown blackberry to thriving native habitats. After more than a decade with GKP, the positive change in our parks and community is amazing to witness.

A group of diverse volunteers for the Green Kirkland Partnership are working on a sunny day to spread wood chips in Everest Park. In the center, a person holds a pitchfork, and to the sides, others stand with wheelbarrows filled with mulch. Everyone appears to be in good spirits, surrounded by lush green trees and foliage.
