Community Members Lend a Hand for New SODO Park

We did it, SODO! With the help of a dedicated group of volunteers and community members, the Pocket Park on S Industrial Way & 6th Ave S is now complete. Thank you to everyone that joined us to lend a hand.

Over 1000 plants of various species were installed during our Planting Day on Saturday. We felt the excitement from community members as they expressed how this park will impact them.

“I can’t wait to walk over to the park and finally have a space to enjoy my lunch break.”

“There aren’t a lot of trees and green space in SODO, so this is a big first step!”

“It was so fun and therapeutic to plant together. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy it!”

By the start of November, the fencing will come down and the park will officially open. We can’t wait for everyone to see this amazing gathering place. Make sure to snap a photo when you visit the park and tag us! @sodobia
