The site is important because this reach of the estuary <br />provides the appropriate range of salinities for juvenile Chinook to transition to salt water Off channel and shallow <br />water habitats in this stretch of the Duwamish will provide opportunities for juvenile fish to move out of the main <br />channel to habitats where they can feed and rear Longer residence times in the estuary allow for larger healthier <br />smolts prior to ocean migration The property is among the largest remaining pieces of under developed sites for <br />habitat restoration remaining in the Duwamish corridor Located in the midst of several other restoration sites the <br />property will provide an important habitat and open space link. <br />The property until recently operated as a family farm known as "Duwamish Gardens is flat with a bank of <br />approximately 20 feet to the Duwamish River with approximately 500 feet of river frontage Structures on the <br />property include two houses a barn and three outbuildings A large sign posted on the property advertises its <br />availability for Sale or Lease" The threat that the property may be lost for restoration purposes is significant, so <br />there is some urgency to the purchase <br />ST SALMON REGION Puget Sound Central LEAD ENTITY ORG.
