October 15 @ 6:00 pm 7:30 pm

Learn about RainWise rebates from the comfort of your home.

This online webinar is for homeowners in eligible areas of Seattle who want to learn more about RainWise rebates. We will cover the stormwater pollution problem, how rain gardens and cisterns help reduce it, and how to get a RainWise project on your property with the help of a RainWise contractor. There will be a Q&A with RainWise staff, plus a chance to talk with RainWise contractors about your future project.

Check your eligibility for a RainWise rebate in advance on our eligibility page.

This event is accessible to all. To request accommodations, email rainwise@seattle.gov at least two weeks before the event.

About RainWise: RainWise is a partnership program of King County Wastewater Treatment Division (WTD) and Seattle Public Utilities (SPU). RainWise rebates cover up to 100% of the cost of installing rain gardens and cisterns on eligible properties. Rain gardens and cisterns help protect Seattle’s waterways by keeping stormwater out of the sewer system. When too much stormwater enters the sewer, polluted water can overflow into Puget Sound, the Duwamish River, and other lakes and bays. RainWise projects can also add attractive landscaping to your yard and provide a way to collect rainwater.

Walking Tour: RainWise Installations in Central Seattle

July 23 @ 6:00 pm 7:30 pm

Come for a walk in the neighborhood and learn about RainWise!

With every storm, rain carries pollutants off roofs, driveways, and other hard surfaces into local creeks, Lake Washington, and Puget Sound. Rain gardens and cisterns can help control this stormwater, and we need your help! In selected areas of Seattle, the City of Seattle and King County will pay up to 100 percent of the cost of installing rain gardens and cisterns on your property. Come talk to program staff to learn how your property can be RainWise.

We recommend checking your eligibility for a RainWise rebate before the event. Visit our eligibility page to find out.
