This suite of project includes the original design for the project that was sponsored by the Puyallup Tibe as well as later design phases and construction. Boise Creek is a productive salmon spawning tributary of the White River. The Spring Chinook, Steelhead, Coho, Pink, and Fall Chinook Salmon spawn in this creek as well as White River Spring Chinook.

In the 1940s, the golf course was built, and the stream was re-routed, resulting in negative impacts to salmonids. In 2008, the Puyallup Tribe performed a study on Boise Creek and found plenty of opportunities to improve and restore salmon habitat in the Puyallup River Basin. The City was ready to move forward on the project more than ten years later and the project was completed in 2020.

The project re-routed the stream, provided large wood for refuge, and is providing productive spawning grounds for salmon,
