Port Townsend has done a few rain gardens, across from the Maritime Center, for example.
Here’s another story of another satisfied rain garden owner. If you are thinking of redoing your gardens or strip along the street, think about doing this. There is lots of information up at the resource center of the Jefferson County Department of Community Development on this topic.
When it comes to Seattle Public Utilities’ RainWise rain garden program, it’s hard to find a dissatisfied customer. You can ask Steve Severin. “It looks beautiful, but it’s also functional,” he said. “It’s doing something. It’s really cool.” Zachariah Bryan reports.
