King County used this funding to acquire two parcels totalling 15.93 acres of land within a 162 acre acquisition project at the confluence of the Snoqualmie and Raging Rivers near Fall City. The 16 acres capture approximately 2,600 linear feet of the left bank of the Snoqualmie River. The greater project envelope spans 10 parcels and captures approximately 8,000 feet of shoreline along the Snoqualmie River and approximately 2,500 feet of shoreline along the Raging River. This project is in the Mainstem - Primary sub basin strategy group according to the Snohomish River Basin Salmon Conservation Plan (2005). The project preserves land at the confluence of two Tier One rivers and is needed to implement two future floodplain restoration projects; the removal or setback of a 2,500 foot revetment along the Snoqualmie River and the removal or setback of a 2,800 foot levee along the Raging River. This acquisition also provides the opportunity to establish a robust riparian corridor and address fish passage problems on the property.The project supports recovery of threatened Chinook salmon and Steelhead trout in addition to other salmonids.
