Squak Valley Park Creekside Restoration
- Status
- Funded in 2009
Issaquah will use this grant to buy 2.06 undeveloped acres and purchase conservation easements on another 1.5 acres on the west bank of Issaquah Creek to protect an important riparian corridor from residential development. This land then will be included in a restoration project, now in the planning stage, that will reconnect Issaquah Creek with its historical floodplain by removing parts of a levee that runs parallel to the east bank. This would improve the creek’s habitat values, which were damaged by levee construction and channel straightening in the 1930s. The city will contribute $962,000 in cash, conservation futures, labor, a local grant, and donated labor. (08-1848)
