DESCRIPTION
This project is conceptual at this point but is based upon the fact that the Seattle waterfront seawall and Alaska Way viaduct may be replaced in the future. These replacements create a rare opportunity to turn the eastern Elliott Bay shoreline into a fish-friendly environment. The project would involve creating shallow water habitat benches and fish friendly structures along the waterfront. This proposal also encompasses the relocation fo the Washington State Ferry system's Colman Ferry Dock offshore, allowing room for installing a shoreline bench. These changes would open up a migration corridor and increase the amount of shallow water area for juvenile Chinook foraging.
