Celebrating Juneteenth! Enjoy the day! 💛❤️💚

Juneteenth, also known as Jubilee Day, Freedom Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day, commemorates June 19, 1865. On this historic day, enslaved people of African descent in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom — over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

King County first celebrated Juneteenth as an official county holiday in 2022, and each year we recommit to building a more equitable, racially just future. Join us in celebrating this day of reflection, service, and action.

A Juneteenth celebration graphic with three horizontal photo strips on a dark brown background. The top photo shows colorful chard leaves, the middle photo features bright yellow sunflowers with a white daisy, all grown at Horseneck Farm by BIPOC farmers, and the bottom photo displays vibrant green ferns. Below the photos, the text reads “June 19 Juneteenth Freedom Day” in yellow, red, and green.

Evergreen Trail Runs is looking for volunteers.

Happy Sunday Funday, folks!

We are just under three weeks out from Tiger Peak (yay!!!) and we are in need of some aid station volunteers. Aid stations are the best place to volunteer. Why, you ask? Because you get to cheer on runners as they pass through AND you can sneak ALL the good snacks.

Also, in case you didn’t know, all our volunteers get a FREE race entry to a future Evergreen event!

So come hang out with us on June 29, feel good about giving back, and get free stuff. Win/Win/Win! Link to sign up: https://runsignup.com/Race/Volunteer/WA/Issaquah/TigerMountainTrailRun ❤️🌲
