SEATTLE - If Seattle's Belltown neighborhood looks a little cleaner, you can thank volunteers.

Hundreds of volunteers from Mars Hill Church spent several hours Saturday picking up trash, clearing drains and covering up graffiti.

Some we talked to believe it's a good way to serve the community.

"We're just wanting to love on the city," said one woman. "We just wanted to go through the Belltown area to help clean it up and make it look better."

I lived in Belltown a few years ago and it did not have that problem. We only had crack dealers all up and down the streets.

These guys were cleaning near my work yesterday... I didn't see any ulterior motive seeking, just a bunch of people cleaning up a neighborhood that needs it... And this is coming from a guy with no love for the views of many at that (or any) church...
