DESCRIPTION
Site was acquired by King County under the Mitigation Reserves Program. Additional funding will be used to restore the 5.83 acre property on the Duwamish Waterway in Tukwila, which will serve as the setting for a future intertidal salmon and aquatic species habitat restoration project. Project will create shallow-water habitat, tying in with the Duwamish Gardens restoration project immediately adjacent to Chinook Wind.
The project will:
-Protect and improve riparian vegetation
-Expand and enhance vegetated shallow subtidal and intertidal habitats and brackish marshes
-Enlarge the Duwamish River estuarine transition zone habitat
