The project will also explore adding non-motorized improvements, such as sidewalks, bike lanes, and planter strips.

Want to learn how to identify water plants? Interested in saving a lake from the horrors of dense weed infestations? Join us on June 21, 2022, 6 pm - 8pm.
The Lake Weed Watcher Program trains volunteers to survey for aquatic weeds in small lakes in King County, Washington. Volunteers are trained to identify both native and non-native aquatic plants. The goal of the project is to watch for populations of invasive weeds that are not currently known to occur in King County or that have a very limited distribution, but have the potential to spread and cause damage. Detecting these weeds early allows us to stop them before they get too entrenched to remove. To register, please click on the image!
