Public Works Week is May 17 - 23, 2026, and this year we’re sending our appreciation to the hardworking crews in the City of Normandy Park Public Works Department, the people who keep our streets smooth, our stormwater draining, our fields mowed, our parks beautiful and our city moving. Public Works teams are out there year-round (yes, even in the rain), taking care of roads, sidewalks, storm drains, parks, and so much more. You may not always see them, but Normandy Park feels their impact every single day.
Want to join in and share the love this month? Here are a few easy and meaningful ways to show Public Works some appreciation:
💙 Give a wave or say thanks.
A friendly wave, smile, or quick “thank you” can brighten a crew’s day more than you might think.
“Our crews take pride in keeping Normandy Park safe, clean, and running smoothly. Every thank-you we receive from the community reminds us why we love what we do.” — Ken Courter, Public Works Director
📝 Share a kind word.
A short note or message recognizing the work of Normandy Park Public Works goes straight to the heart. A little appreciation makes a big difference.
📣 Spread the love online.
Give Public Works a shout-out on social media! Sharing a post or story helps highlight the important work happening behind the scenes all over our city. Tag the City on Facebook or and tell us how much you appreciate our Public Works crew.
🚧 Be kind—drive safe.
One of the best gifts you can give is slowing down in work zones, following signs, and giving crews the space they need to work safely. Keeping a safe distance from crews working, is key to keeping our streets safe for everyone.
🌧️ Report issues to help our crews spot issues.
Notice a pothole, clogged storm drain, or other issues? Show some love by reporting it to City Hall. It’s an easy way to connect directly with Public Works and help keep Normandy Park in tip-top shape.
This May, let’s celebrate the City of Normandy Park Public Works Department for all they do, often quietly, always reliably. We love our Public Works team, and we’re grateful for the care they show our community every day.
