The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust will complete final designs and permitting and construct Phase 1 of a habitat restoration project along ~3,165 feet  of Issaquah Creek in Lake Sammamish State Park. Within the project area the creek is incised in many locations, with moderate to high flows confined to a primary, single-thread channel without high-flow refugia. The goal of the project is to restore natural habitat forming processes to improve juvenile rearing habitat for Chinook and other salmonids by connecting the creek to its floodplain, increasing off-channel habitat, improving in-stream habitat diversity and complexity by adding large wood, and enhancing riparian buffers and wetland habitat.  This phase of  the project targets restoration of Reaches 2 and 3 as described in the attached Preliminary Design Report. the Greenway Trust will also install an interpretive sign to educate park visitors about ways they can support salmon recovery. In addition to advancing recovery of  ESA-listed Chinook, this project seeks to  increase salmon populations to feed ESA-listed Southern Resident Orcas. This project continues the work underway between the Greenway Trust, State Parks, and other partners, and builds upon 15+ years of riparian habitat restoration. When all phases of the overall restoration project are funded and constructed, more than 6,500 feet of Issaquah Creek in Lake Sammamish State Park will be restored. Final Designs will meet Manual 18 Appendix D-3.
