PPNW Seattle
The Seattle chapter of Pollinator Pathway NW is thriving! Outreach includes the Duwamish Alive Coalition and the Tulatuwx restoration site, formerly terminal 105 in Seattle. Friends of Tulatuwx works to reforest this property and develop it into a self sustaining habitat in an effort to bring back the salmon population to this portion of the river.

Pollinator Fest 2026 - Great Vibes!
Pollinator Fest 2026 was a great success! On May 30, festival goers were inspired and delighted by all the activities and exhibits. There was a keynote speech on hummingbirds, children’s activities, garden tours, an art show and an incredible caterpillar movie.
- Fifty six exhibitors were on hand to showcase their expertise on pollinators, native plants, soil, and responsible gardening practices, as well as quality artisan sustainable goods.
- Wildlife ecologist and photographer Gregory Green gave two packed-house talks on the ecology of hummingbirds.
- Between talks, there was a viewing of The Extraordinary Caterpillar, a fascinating 60 minute documentary exploring the vital role caterpillars play in a healthy ecosystem.
- The 21 Acres farm was the site of garden tours by Pollinator Pathway NW and a Native Plant Walk with Tlingit tribal member, Linzie Crofoot. The Pollinator Pathway NW demonstration garden and spiral herb garden were on display, with garden hosts available to answer questions.
- Youth art Contest entries were exhibited for the public.
- To encourage people to engage with all the exhibitors, they were given a passport to stamp and were rewarded with a prize.
“We look forward to the event every year! So much fun for all ages; very educational and inspirational.”
“Lots to do for all ages, well advertised, shuttles, lovely grounds to walk in the back, gives people concrete things to help the environment.”
“The Native Plant Walk was amazing!”
“The information shared at the hummingbird panel and native plant tour was engaging and important for our current climate. Thank you for bringing folks together to share like this!”
Yard by Yard Project
Here is an exciting idea: Replace your lawn with native plants that will help conserve water and create healthy pollinator habitat. Pollinator Pathway NW and the Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance received a grant to test this grassroots solution to preserving local watershed.

Woodinville Becomes an Official Bee City U.S.A.
Yes, it’s official! Woodinville voted unanimously to become a Bee City, joining Seattle, Sammamish, Bellingham, Puyallup and Vancouver, among others. This means they made a commitment to creating thriving habitat for pollinators, reducing pesticide use, and raising awareness of pollinator health and conservation.

Woodinville Eastrail Corridor Project
The City of Woodinville is embarking on an ambitious project to transform a section of an unused rail line into a vibrant multi-use trail and corridor park. The trail will create walkable green spaces (healthy for pollinators!) and encourage interaction with nature throughout the city. Community members, local organizations (including Pollinator Pathway NW!) and tribal governments will all play a part in determining how this space will be created.
Here is some info, and stay tuned for more!
Bee-utiful Woodinville!
To celebrate becoming a Bee City, the City of Woodinville sponsored a community art project. Pollinator themed fence panels were hung along the chain-link fence on the former Molbak’s site.
