Nearly 70 volunteers swept, raked and cleaned downtown Kirkland streets during the annual Clean Sweep event on Saturday morning.

The Kirkland Downtown Association, Vince Isaacson with Lake Street Diamond Co., and Kirkland resident Patty Tucker organized the annual event, aimed at making city streets sparkle and shine.

Volunteers included many youth, such as Lake Washington High School Key Club and Loyalty Club members.

During the event, Loyalty Club seniors Meghan Demeter and Marisa Nanakul swept Park Lane, noting that they were glad to help out.

The group met for lunch following the event, courtesy of Qdoba Mexican Grill.
