Description

Riparian vegetation enhancement at Brackett's Landing including addition of low-growing trees. There is an invasive species problem just to the north of the site. Further enhance the marine riparian vegetation by adding native plants to existing backshore areas and removing non-native invasive plants.

Opportunities, Constraints, and other Considerations

Surf smelt and sand lance spawning has been documented along Olympic Beach and Brackett's Landing. The southwestern two-thirds of Olympic Beach is modified by a sea wall. The City of Edmonds owns all but 100 feet of the tidelands in this area and about two-thirds of the adjoining upland property. Heavily used public area; feasibility is likely low.
