Project Highlights
Acquisition of 106-acre Hope Island, located between Steamboat Island and Squaxin Island in south Puget Sound. The island is undeveloped, heavily forested, and gradually slopes to an extensive beach area. Future uses will support camping, day use, interpretation, water trail access, and boating recreation.
