Our Public Works team partnered with South King Tool Library over the weekend to host a mattress and tire recycling and document shredding event, giving community members an easy way to recycle bulky items without leaving their vehicles.

Together, we recycled 338 tires, 92 mattresses and box springs, and collected 6,000 pounds of documents for secure shredding! We all play a role in keeping Federal Way green!

We are excited to welcome The Picklr to Federal Way at its new location on Pacific Highway. In collaboration with the Greater Federal Way Chamber, we marked the occasion with a ribbon cutting ceremony over the weekend. 🏓

The Picklr is a pickleball player’s dream with 14 indoor courts, including four championship-sized courts, a full pro shop, private event space and a vibrant community for players of all skill levels.

We're excited to see this new recreational destination bring even more opportunities for fitness and connection to our community. Welcome to Federal Way!

It’s salmon release season in Federal Way! 🌊🐟

Over the past two weeks, fourth graders have taken over Hylebos Blueberry Farm Park for one of the most exciting traditions of the school year, Storming the Sound with Salmon!

Through our partnership with Federal Way Public Schools, students spent the year raising Coho salmon right in their classrooms. Along the way, they built real-world skills in observation, data collection and environmental science while learning just how vital salmon are to the Pacific Northwest.

Now comes the best part: releasing thousands of the young salmon they’ve cared for into West Hylebos Creek, where their journey to the Puget Sound begins.

Moments like these turn science into something students can see, feel and play a role in!
