DESCRIPTION
This project will involve restoring parts of the estuary of Massey Creek in Des Moines. Massey Creek enters Puget Sound just south of the Des Moines Marina. The project remove 300 feet of the southern, rock-lined bank of the creek and a small jetty. The 150-foot jetty extending out into the subtidal area would be removed (there is another jetty protecting the Des Moines Marina on the north side of the stream; this project does not propose changes to that jetty). Approximately 150 feet of the channel upstream of the mouth would be widened and meandered away from the northern rock wall to create two natural banks for the creek. The area on both sides of the creek would be revegetated with upland and marsh vegetatin.
