DESCRIPTION
This project includes the purchase and restoration of one of the major privately-held undeveloped feeder bluffs along the mainland marine shoreline. The project is located just north of Marine View Park in Normandy Park. The bluff is approximately 1,000 feet long and is made up of 27 separate parcels, totaling 13.5 acres. Three of the 27 parcels are already in public ownership (two owned by King County and one by the City of Normandy Park). While the upland is not developed, there is a bulkhead along 80% of the shoreline of the bluff. Once the parcels are purchased, the bulkhead would be removed to allow for natural sediment beach feeding processes to occur. The restoration phase of this project is designated as a separate project, 09-NS-011B.
