Come join us on Sunday, October 2nd, 2022 for the Washington CeaseFire 5k Run / Walk!
We are very excited to have this year's event at beautiful Green Lake Park in Seattle! It's more important than ever for individuals and families to show support for, and solidarity with, the growing grassroots movement to make our communities and schools safer.
We will follow the 5k event with our annual Day of Remembrance ceremony, where we plant daffodil bulbs (donated by Sunnyside Nursery) in commemoration of victims of gun violence. (NOTE: Register early to guarantee T-Shirt availability)
Since 1983, Washington Ceasefire, a nonprofit organization, has been working towards implementing reasonable solutions to reduce the toll of gun violence in Washington State. Net proceeds from the run/walk will be used to support initiatives, programs, and policies dedicated to reducing gun violence.

As you consider which tropicals to cultivate indoors, keep in mind that many of them love to do one of two things…
