2026 Washington Coast Cleanup
As a member of the Washington Clean Coast Alliance, Washington State Parks teams up with Washington CoastSavers to put on three beach cleanups a year – and the Washington Coast Cleanup is coming up on April 25, 2026.
Many other collaborating partners like Grassroots Garbage Gang, Port Townsend Marine Science Center and Surfrider Foundation help clean coastal beaches alongside State Parks. Volunteers come out yearly to remove several tons of marine debris from Washington’s Pacific Coast and Salish Sea. Beach cleanups allow family and friends to have fun and participate in a meaningful activity.
Last year, volunteers picked up 13,203 pounds of trash during the Washington Coast Cleanup. Join us again this year on April 25, 2026 (time dependent on location and tidal differences). Registration info is available on the Washington CoastSavers website.
The cleanup takes place at various locations along Washington’s Pacific Coast and Salish Sea, including eleven state parks: Cape Disappointment, Fort Flagler, Fort Townsend, Fort Worden, Grayland Beach, Griffiths-Priday, Mystery Bay, Ocean City, Pacific Beach, Shine Tidelands and Twin Harbors.
