The City of Bothell and Forterra are partnering with King County and OneBothell to facilitate the acquisition and permanent protection of the 89-acre Wayne Golf Course. The goal of Phase I is to acquire 30 acres of a 50 acre parcel along the Sammamish River, known as the Front 9. The Front 9 is part of the historic river floodplain and consists of 1100 linear feet of shoreline on both banks of the river (2200 feet total). The fee simple acquisition of this land will place the property into public ownership and allow for future floodplain and riparian habitat restoration, which will benefit Chinook salmon, Lake Sammamish kokanee, coho, and sockeye.
