DEADLINE FOR COMMENTS : July 18 , 2014 by 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time)
PROJECT INFORMATION
The City of Tukwila purchased 2.16 acres for the Duwamish Gardens habitat site using a
combination of state and local funding sources. As a condition of grant funding, the City was
required to restrict future use of the site to habitat and park use only through a deed restriction
placed on the property. The City is proposing to sell a portion of this property cur rently under
this deed restriction and acquiring a replacement property , and is seeking comment on this
proposal.
The City of Tukwila submitted a Conversion and Replacement request to the Washington State
Recreation and Conservation Office. The request is for the conversion and sale of a portion of
the City’s Duwamish Gardens project site that totals approximately 3,819 sq ft . In exchange for
this property , the City will acquire an adjacent replacement property totaling approximately
16,800 sq ft and pl ace a deed restriction on it. The proposed property conversion is part of the
City’s planned Duwamish Gardens Salmon Habitat Restoration Project. The project site is
located at 11269 East Marginal Way South. The intent of this project is to create an o ff channel
habitat area for salmon and other fish species. The work will require removal of sediment, gravel
and other materials from the shoreline zone. Work will also include relocating the riverbank,
planting native vegetation, and construction of a walkin g trail. The project is part of the City’s
ongoing efforts to improve the Duwamish/Green River watershed for salmon and other aquatic
species.
