Description
Restore the mouth of creek and upstream to the East Lake Sammamish Trail, focused on armoring removal and riparian restoration. As an initial step in this effort, perform a feasibility study and risk assessment for the potential to re-route lower Laughing Jacobs Creek south of its current alignment, moving the channel through Lake Sammamish State Park.
Opportunities, Constraints, and other Considerations
Current alignment of Laughing Jacobs downstream of East Lake Sammamish Parkway is highly armored and confined by private residences. Relocating the channel will offer greater complexity and channel/floodplain interactions, benefitting Chinook and kokanee. Project is a viable restoration opportunity regardless of the potential for a future re-route of the lower channel due to inflows from Many Springs Creek. Identified as a priority in the Kokanee Blueprint.
