King County Parks Open Space - River Corridors Grant Acceptance
Project No. 92341202
ISSUE
Accept a King County Parks Open Space - River Corridors (OSRC) grant award for $280,000 to fund the design of
the Chinook Wind Extension project.
BACKGROUND
In March 2023, Council approved staff to apply for this King County OSRC grant to fund the design of the Chinook
Wind Extension project. The OSRC program, a 6-year King County Parks Levy program, supports projects that help
restore the natural functions of rivers, create, or restore public access and/or increase public awareness of river
corridors are valuable resources.
DISCUSSION
The City received an award for the fully requested amount of $280,000. This habitat restoration and public access
project will connect the off -channel habitats and public trails at the Chinook Wind Mitigation Project site (trail
scheduled to be constructed in 2024) and the Duwamish Gardens Habitat Restoration site. In total between the three
projects, approximately 1,400 lineal feet of shoreline will have been converted to shallow water off -channel rearing
and refuge habitat in the transition zone of the Duwamish River, and the public will have access to more than 1/3 of a
mile of shoreline trail. Grant funds are expected to support funding for the shoreline design task of the in -progress
SOJ and Miller Hayashi contracts for the Public Works Operation's Campus, Phase 2.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The grant award requires a 20% local city match of $70,000. The project CIP budget, which comes from the utility
fund, is sufficient to cover the cost of the match.

This is a proposal is for the design phase of the Chinook Wind Extension project. The project will develop a
trail system, informational signage, and viewpoints that will extend the Chinook Wind habitat restoration
project being implemented by King County in partnership with the City of Tukwila. The project site is at about
river mile 6 of the Duwamish River and lies adjacent to the Recreation & Conservation Office funded
Duwamish Gardens habitat restoration and park site. The project goal is to create public access through the
Chinook Wind site so that people can enjoy views of the river, the off -channel mitigation site and learn about
the history of the area and the extensive salmon recovery efforts being done along the river. This project will
connect the Chinook Wind project with the nearby Duwamish Gardens trail system, making a substantial and
unique urban water access experience. The property is currently owned by King County and will be
transferred to the City of Tukwila following the County's mitigation project and subsequent 10-year
maintenance period.
Outcomes*
Share how this project will meet community needs. What are the intended community benefits and/or project
outcomes?
1. Public health - this project will benefit the community by providing a missing link in what will be a 1/3
mile (-1,765 lineal feet) urban waterfront pedestrian trail between trailheads at Tukwila International
Boulevard and East Marginal Way South, traversing through the recently completed Chinook Wind Mitigation
Project (King County) and Duwamish Gardens (City of Tukwila). This project will include 300 lineal feet of
trail located in the middle, in between the existing Duwamish Gardens trail, which includes a spur view trail
and a hand -carry boat launch, and the Chinook Winds Public Access trail, scheduled to be completed in 2023.
According to the State Department of Health, the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the community within the project
site's census tract is 26.14 for ages 20+. This is higher than the state average and is considered 'overweight'
by the National Institute of Health. This data speaks to the general health -related characteristics of the
community that lives within proximity to this project and speaks to the need for healthy outdoor
opportunities. According to the Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan (PROS), Walking/Biking
ranked #1 by survey participants as the activity they most wanted to see more of in Tukwila Parks. People in
this community have limited connection with nature and access to healthy outdoor spaces. This project will
help to provide that need and better serve the community.
2. Species recovery - Chinook salmon, Steelhead, Bull Trout and Southern Resident Killer Whales are
endangered or threatened species that stand to benefit from this project. Juvenile Chinook salmon, in
particular, will benefit from this project's newly -created off -channel rearing habitat in the Duwamish River
transition zone. Research results from the adjacent Duwamish Gardens Habitat Restoration project showed
substantial juvenile Chinook use of the off -channel habitat created there. Sampling in February, 2017, the first
migration season in which the habitat was opened, showed juvenile Chinook use at 22 cpu/m2 as compared
to zero at three control sites in the adjacent mainstem, and compared with zero in the pre -project condition.
With this project, we expect to create complimentary off -channel habitat that will be utilized by juvenile
Chinook, expanding their critically needed transition zone habitat and contributing to species recovery
efforts.
Evaluation*
Describe how the project's effectiveness and success will be evaluated.
The public health goals of the project maybe evaluated as part of the City's next PROS Plan update. This
project, Duwamish Gardens and the Chinook Wind Public Access projects were not in existence at the time of
the last PROS plan, which collected survey data regarding use of various parks located throughout the city.
The expected outcome would be to see that residents are utilizing the trail system and gaining the associated
health benefits from movement and exposure to nature. Additional feedback may be acquired to understand
any barriers that may inhibit people from utilizing and enjoying the trail and its surroundings.
Similar to the Duwamish Gardens Habitat Restoration project, the City or King County, will undertake a post -
construction fish survey of the project site. King County and the University of Washington have been active in
2023 King County Parks Levy Program Grant

fish surveys in the area. The City would look to collaborate with one or both of those entities to collect data,
especially with the proximity of several other restoration projects including the Riverton Creek Flapgate
Removal, Chinook Wind, Duwamish Gardens and North Wind's Weir. The City could potentially seek grant
opportunities, such as the WRIA 9 Monitoring Fund, to take on the effort independently if needed.

Broader Project Scope*
Is this proposed project part of a broader project or scope of work? If so, please describe how this proposed
project fits into the larger project, or write "Not applicable".
This project is an extension of the Chinook Wind project, which is scheduled to be completed in 2023 and
Public Works Shops Phase 2 project. Although the Chinook Wind Extension can be completed independently,
the goal is to create connect the trail system, and create a unique urban water access experience.
Project Contingencies*
Is this proposed project contingent on another project, or are there factors that may delay the implementation of
this project? If so, please describe any contingencies or factors that could delay implementation of the project or
write "not applicable".
The Chinook Wind Extension Project is associated with the City of Tukwila' Public Works Shops Phase 2
Project, which will construct new facilities for the City's Public Works Department administration and
operations & maintenance personnel. That project is in the planning and cost control phase without a
definitive timeline. The parcel and entirety of both project sites will become unrestricted property of the City
of Tukwila later this year, when the property lease expires. As part of recent purchase and sale agreement,
the property is currently leased to Amalfi Investments and houses the UPS truck yard that has been there for
many years. It is anticipated at this time that the Chinook Wind Extension Project will be built in advance of
Public Works Shops Phase 2, which is the most sensible sequence from a constructability standpoint. The
contractor will be able to access the site easily and utilize portions of the larger site for staging and access
without disrupting Shops construction activity or post -occupancy activity. We do not anticipate any delay in
implementation of the Chinook Wind Extension Project due to the Shops' project or the terminating lease, but
just want to make reviewers aware of the context of the site, its history and future activity.

The finished project will be owned and maintained by the City of Tukwila as a City park site. Tukwila park
employees will partner with local volunteers, as available, to provide routine maintenance of the park
portions of the site, including the trail and site furnishings. The Tukwila Parks Department currently works
with volunteer groups to maintain several park sites. The Public Works Department will contract
maintenance of the restoration site during a 10-year plant establishment period. This separation of duties
between departments follows the Duwamish Gardens model. Following plant establishment, routine
maintenance should be limited to removal of invasive plants, replacement of damaged or dead vegetation,
and plant trimming where necessary.

Ongoing stewardship and maintenance of the many completed and planned restoration projects along the
Duwamish is a high priority for WRIA 9 salmon habitat recovery, and a strategy for funding long-term
stewardship for all projects. Parks' stewardship program trains volunteers to be site stewards who can
organize work parties for site maintenance and assign a small group of volunteers to regularly monitor the
site. This program may be explored for future maintenance and operations of the site.
Project Readiness*
Please describe any steps that have been completed to prepare for the project (i.e., feasibility planning,
architectural/engineering, cultural resources, permitting, zoning, etc.), as well as any outstanding steps that need
to be completed before the project can break ground.
This project funding application will support the City's Capital Improvement allocation for this project, which
begins in 2023. This project and the funding request builds upon at 2013 masterplan, which laid the
foundation for this green and blue corridor, and has been expanded and conceptually defined in the City's
Public Works Shops Phase 2 Plan. Additionally, this project is listed as Duw-7a, a Tier 1 project in the WRIA 9
2021 Salmon Habitat Plan update. With this funding, we will follow through on the project development
work that has been done to date and on the design and permitting stages of the project. The City will
advertise for and hire a professional consulting firm for this work.

River Corridor Multiple Benefits
Multiple Benefits*
Please describe how the project integrates multiple benefits (i.e., habitat restoration, public recreation, and/or
flood reduction) and balances the impacts of potentially competing priorities.
• For recreation focused projects, how does the project mitigate the potential impacts to natural functions
of rivers and their riparian areas.
• For habitat focused projects, how does the project contribute to improving public access and/or public
awareness of the importance of river corridors?
The goal of the project is to develop a site for future restoration as an intertidal salmon and aquatic species
habitat, as part of a larger strategy to restore tens of acres of shallow water habitat in the Duwamish
Transition Zone in order to recover Chinook salmon. While the primary purpose of the project is to provide
resting, feeding and cover habitat for juvenile Chinook salmon as they transition from freshwater to
saltwater, the addition of this habitat will benefit multiple species. The site is rare in that it is large enough
and deep enough to provide more than two acres of off -channel habitat and two or three acres of native tree
and shrub plantings. A portion of the site would be used for passive recreational activities including a trail.
The site is located in a portion of the Duwamish that is listed as the highest priority area for restoration in the
Salmon Habitat Plan for the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed (also known as WRIA 9).

This site will provide a passive -use, greenbelt area in a highly industrial location in close proximity to two
low-income neighborhoods: Duwamish and Allentown in Tukwila. Residents of the area are multi -ethnic and
subject to more health problems and shorter life spans than elsewhere in King County. Replacing a paved area
and motel with a green space that has passive recreational opportunities and trees will help alleviate some of
these problems. The Duwamish River is a highly altered natural river corridor surrounded by development,
including heavy industrial activities. This project, combined with the expanded Duwamish Gardens site, will
allow for approximately 1,500 ft. of restored shoreline with passive recreation activities. It would allow the
creation of a trail linking East Marginal Way with Tukwila International Blvd. In addition, it is adding to the
link of completed or planned habitat projects in the area, creating a corridor of riparian and off channel
habitat for juvenile Chinook salmon that include the Codiga Farms, Duwamish Hill Preserve, Duwamish
Gardens, North Winds Weir, and the Cecil Moses sites. Studies have shown that this segment of the Duwamish
River is vital to the recovery of Chinook salmon.

What cultural resource review activities are currently planned or have already been completed on this project?
Please also briefly describe any known permit requirements and/or state or federal funding programs supporting
the implementation of this project.
The City will follow protocols outlined in the grant agreement, State Law, and those that would be expected
through the Corps Permit and Tribal Consultation Process. The City is very experienced in cultural resource
investigation and documentation, having provided investigations, Inadvertent Discovery Plans (IDPs) for the
adjacent Duwamish Gardens Habitat Restoration and Chinook Wind Public Access projects. Construction
monitoring occurred at the Duwamish Gardens site and will occur at the Chinook Wind Public Access sites. At
Duwamish Gardens, 17 investigative trenches were dug, and the archaeological potential area mapped. The
design responded to preserve intact artifacts, while meeting project access and restoration goals. For the
Chinook Wind Extension project, we will work with the consulting parties to develop archaeological
investigation plans, a culturally responsive design, and an appropriate plan for the inadvertent discovery
during construction and monitoring, as needed.
Project Extent Data (Optional)
Upload a spatial data file (zipped shapefile, kml, or gpx, etc.) showing a polygon of the extent of the project area.
This data is used for cultural resource review by the Historic Preservation Program and consultation with affected
Tribes.
(Parks staff can assist with the creation of this data as necessary)
Equitable Access & Partnerships (EAP)
Equitable Access & Partnerships
King County Parks seeks to support community -led and community -informed organizations that are reflective of
and embedded in the populations they serve and recognize and address the racial and other disparities that exist
in King County. Priority populations focus on underserved communities that experience inequitable access to open
space. This may include racial/ethnic communities (Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, American
Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, and/or other People of Color), people with
disabilities, refugees and immigrants, low-income individuals, and/or other marginalized communities.
Responses should demonstrate how the project addresses disparities through intentional planning, community
involvement, and strategic partnerships.

EAP - Community Engagement
Community Engagement
King County Parks seeks to invest in projects that are led by and for underserved communities with the least access
to recreational and health equity. Ideally, the need for this project was identified by one or more underserved
communities, and those communities play a meaningful and central role in key decisions affecting the proposed
project.
Community Engagement*
Describe how community members are or will be involved in leading, informing, and/or engaging in this project in
a meaningful way.
During the early stages of the design process, the project team will develop a communication plan that will
include public involvement. This is likely to operate independently of the Public Works Shops Phase 2
process and may include one or more of the following venues/mediums to inform and solicit input: public
meeting(s), social media posts, web -based posts, printed materials at the Tukwila Community Center and/or
other appropriate public locations, and broad outreach to partner organization.
EAP - Collaborative Partnerships
Collaborative Partnerships
King County Parks seeks to support projects that are driven by underserved communities. Collaborative project
partnerships can help achieve that goal, particularly involving organizations that reflect the communities they
serve (e.g., members share similar backgrounds or identities, have historical ties to the community, etc.). Partners
may include tribes, community -based organizations, public agencies, and other organizations contributing
resources to this project.
Partnerships*
If this project involves partnerships with other organizations or agencies, please describe the project partners. If no
organizational partners are involved, please describe why the lead organization is best suited to approach this
project independently.
A. How do the organizational partners (or lead organization, if there are no project partners) reflect the
communities served by this project?
B. What does each partner bring to this project (funding, in -kind donations, volunteers, etc.)?
C. How does collaborating with the identified partners strengthen this project?
The City of Tukwila has been an active partner with the many jurisdictions and stakeholders involved in
salmon recovery in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound watershed since 1999. The City's council
plays an active role in funding and supporting WRIA 9 salmon recovery actions, and the City has worked
closely with the WRIA 9 salmon recovery team to build other projects within city boundaries to enhance
salmon habitat. Since this project is in the top tier of the WRIA 9 list of high priority projects, WRIA 9 has
indicated its willingness to assist the City with securing funding and ensuring that the project is consistent
with regional salmon recovery goals.
The City has established working relationships with volunteers, as well as community -based non-profit
organizations, in carrying out restoration projects. For example, the City is partnering with Sustainability
Ambassadors on the City's Stormwater Outfalls Water Quality Restoration Project to provide students with a

meaningful real -world understanding around water quality issues and actions; the City is partnering with
DirtCorps on the King County OSRC-funded Nelsen Side Channel project, where DirtCorps, who facilitates a
green jobs training program, has been working to restore a portion of the shoreline associate with that
project. As such, the City will look for these types of opportunities to help build community support,
education, and/or civic engagement.
