The Bahá’í community in Sammamish is one of the many community organizations in the area that contribute to keeping their neighborhood clean and safe.

A couple of times a year, the Sammamish Bahá’í roll up their sleeves for a roadside clean-up service project.

On Saturday, they got together to clean-up a one 1.3 mile stretch on East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast, a section of the road they “adopted” seven years ago.

Saturday’s event coincided with Earth Day.

Adults from the Sammamish Baha’i community were joined by Bahá’í youth from Sammamish, Bellevue, Kirland and Bothell, volunteering on the parkway to complete their school service projects.

Service projects like this is one of the many teachings of Bahá’u’lláh, the manifestation and profit founder of the Baha’i Faith, as a way to serve the community and mankind,” said Bahá’í Saeed Zamani.

The Bahá’í faith is the youngest of the world’s independent monotheistic religions, and one of the fastest-growing religions in the United States.

Bahá’ís view the world’s major religions as part of a single, progressive process through which God reveals His will to humanity.
