Kula Celebrates National Clean Up Day On the Mountain Loop Highway

Check out the Kula Academy Calendar for a complete list of classes and events.

Meet at the Granite Falls Police Station next to the City of Granite Falls (205 S. Granite Ave.)

In 2023, Kula Cloth officially adopted three tiny stretches of roadway on the Mountain Loop Highway. As we embarked upon a journey of highway parenting, we took great pride in the Mountain Loop’s beauty, and understood that it came with a heavy price. Kula is responsible for its upkeep and maintenance at least twice a year. Although less frequent then traditional diaper changes, roadside cleanups can be equally messy.

At our first cleanup, we remove nearly 400 pounds of garbage in less than 3 hours. Since then, we hav returned twice a year to clean up thousands of pounds of trash. And there is still a ton of trash begging us to return.

Please join us for a National Clean Up Day event to help maintain the beauty of our beloved Mountain Loop Highway. Join us to make a positive impact on the environment and to keep the gateway of our favorite trails beautiful.

Armed with determination, brightly colored hard hats, florescent orange vests, litter grabbers and a shared passion for environmental stewardship, we'll obliterate the garbage littering the road to some of our favorite trailheads (Gothic Basin, Goat Lake, Vesper Peak, Mt. Dickerman, Mt. Pilchuck, Heather Lake, Lake 22, Mt. Pughe, Forgotten Meadows and so many others).

Join the Kula Academy on this trashy quest to maintain the beauty of the Mountain Loop. Be sure to bring your gloves, your sense of humor and help us to make a difference!

What to Expect:

• A tasteful collection of garbage curated from the Mountain Loop
• Kula Cleanup Fashion Show: featuring brightly colored hard hats and florescent vests
• A Gallery of Mountain Loop Collectibles - featuring your favorite finds
• Garbage Photo opps - featuring your best poses with Mountain Loop treasures
• Synchronized Litter Grabbing
• And lots of fun with Kula people

Where to meet:

We'll meet at 10am in front of the Granite Falls Police Station right next to the City of Granite Falls. From there, we will do a brief introduction, a safety talk, give out hardhats, safety vests, litter grabbers, bags and carpool to the cleanup locations.

* This event is for all humans 18 years or older. No pets.
