It’s All Happening in SLU on May 5




What could be more fun, or a better chance to promote South Lake Union, than hundreds of people coming to the neighborhood to have fun and support a great cause?  

Yep, it will all be happening on Sunday, May 5, when the American Lung Association brings its signature Fight for Air Walk to the neighborhood.  While the Walk starts at 10am, at 9:30am everyone can warm up with pre-Walk yogic stretching, courtesy of Be Luminous Yoga.  Then the Walk makes a loop around Denny Park, and continues through the neighborhood for a 2.5 mile scavenger hunt; participants will pass sponsors such as Group Health, PEMCO and NBBJ, as well as the cool new urban residence Stack House

Have a four-legged friend?  Bring Fido for the Canines for Clean Air Pet Parade sponsored by Scraps Dog Bakery – with dog treats of course – and Lake Union Vet, who will have docs on hand to answer your pet questions.  Any dogs who preregister their owners will get a free doggie kerchief!  Bring the kids for fun with Radio Disney, Air Guitar contests sponsored by Guitar Center and paper airplane contests courtesy of Kenmore Air. 

Afterwards many local businesses such as Lake Union Wellness, Car2Go, Toyota of Seattle, Align Chiropractic and Springhill Suites will have booths near the Downtown Spirits beer garden and the kids root beer garden, while Umpqua Bank hands out free ice cream!  The Lung Association’s very fun Breathe Boot Camp will be ongoing, as will workshops on how to make the air in your home healthier to breathe and how to manage asthma and other lung diseases.  

When it’s all over? CleanScapes has generously donated their clean-up crew.  Many other SLU businesses such as One West Commons have contributed time, talent or treasure to make this event a success.  Everyone is invited to come on out for the fun, and to receive $5 off registration by entering SLU as the discount code!  Your tax-deductible contribution helps keep youth off tobacco, supports those with lung disease, and helps keep the air we breathe clean.
