Boy Scout Troop 60 spent Saturday volunteering to help Mountlake Terrace City staff clear the city’s storm drains.
More than a dozen volunteers spent the morning learning about stormwater runoff and how it affects the environment. The scouts then helped city staff clean the storm drains around the city, including near the Town Center and Recreation Pavilion.
