Community

Our goal is to ensure every one of our neighbors has a happy, healthy place to call home. Together, let’s make our communities the best they can be.


Planting A Better Tomorrow

Changing the world one tree at a time

The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties (MBAKS) is pleased to launch "Planting A Better Tomorrow.” This transformative community stewardship program aims to cultivate vibrant communities by strategically planting trees where they can thrive and enrich the lives of residents.

"Planting A Better Tomorrow" underscores MBAKS’ commitment to environmental stewardship and our belief that everyone deserves a place to call home. A healthy environment is fundamental to our region’s well-being, and through this initiative, we strive to create sustainable communities for all.

This year, MBAKS is collaborating with the City of Federal Way and our member volunteers to plant trees at Steel Lake Park on Saturday, October 5. We are motivated by the desire to make a positive impact where it's most needed.  A recent study by the Washington State Department of Ecology highlighted 16 communities across the state disproportionately affected by air pollution, resulting in significant health impacts such as reduced life expectancy and increased instances of childhood asthma and respiratory issues. Federal Way is one of these affected communities.

MBAKS recognizes the numerous benefits trees provide for residents, improving air quality, reducing climate impacts, and enhancing the natural beauty of our cities. They also play a vital role in fostering community spirit and defining our neighborhood identity. Together, we sow the seeds of change today for a healthy, sustainable tomorrow in the communities we call home.
