As part of an Earth Week tour of environmental achievements by King County and its partners, Executive Dow Constantine today toured a recently completed floodplain restoration project along the Snoqualmie River that is the largest in the county’s history.
The 145-acre Fall City Floodplain Restoration Project improved habitat and strengthened flood protections for nearby farms, homes, and roads. It is among the first King County-led projects to apply the principles of Snoqualmie Fish, Farm, and Flood, a landmark agreement Executive Constantine signed in 2017 to achieve multiple benefits for restoration projects.
“Our successful restoration of a key section of the Snoqualmie River — the largest project of its kind in King County’s history — builds on progress we have made along major river corridors throughout the region,” said Executive Constantine. “Our employees and partners have improved habitat for salmon and reduced flood risks for people, farmland, and homes, demonstrating our ability to produce multiple benefits for each public dollar we invest.”
