BY: Catrien de Boer, Public Works Analyst
CC: Mayor McLeod
DATE: October 24, 2025
SUBJECT: Surface Water Fund — Chinook Wind Extension
Project No. 92341202 - 2025 Cooperative Watershed Management Grant
ISSUE
Accept a 2025 King County Flood Control District (FCD) Cooperative Watershed Management (CWM)
Grant for $618,324 to fund the final design and construction of the Chinook Wind Extension project.
BACKGROUND
In February 2025, staff applied to the CWM grant program to fund the final design and construction of
the Chinook Wind Extension project. The CWM grants are intended to recover ESA -listed salmon
species and restore watershed ecosystems.
DISCUSSION
In August 2025, City staff received notification of a $618,324 award for Chinook Wind Extension final
design and construction. This project seeks to complete the "missing link" public access trail between
the recently completed Chinook Wind Mitigation Site and Duwamish Gardens. This project will also
create complimentary off -channel habitat that will be utilized by juvenile Chinook, contributing to
species recovery efforts.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive $618,324 from the CWM program. No local match is required. The City also was
awarded a $1,000,000 grant from the King County Parks Open Space -River Corridors program to
supplement this CWM funding for Construction and Construction Management. The total cost for the
Chinook Wind Extension project has increased in part because the project was separated from the
larger Public Works Shops project. This separation requires additional coordination with King County
and other stakeholders, resulting in more staff and consultant time during the design phase before the
project can advance to construction.
Project Budget Phase
2025 CWM Grant $ 618,324.00 Final Design & Construction
King County Parks OSRC Grant $1,000,000.00 Construction & Construction Mgmt
Total $1,618,324.00
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to accept a 2025 Cooperative Watershed Management grant award for the
Chinook Wind Extension project in the amount of $618,324 and consider this item on the Consent
Agenda at the November 3rd, 2025 Regular Council Meeting.

CITY OF TUKWILA CAPITAL PROJECT SUMMARY
2025 to 2030
PROJECT: Chinook Wind Extension Project# 92341202
Project Manager Mike Perfetti Department Surface Water
DESCRIPTION:
JUSTIFICATION:
Following the Public Works Facility Preferred Master Ran (2019) and the Duwamish Gardens Opportunities
for Expansion Concept Plan (2013), this project will develop connecting shoreline habitat and the 'missing
trail link' between Duwamish Gardens and Chinook Wind within recently acquired City property.
This is a Tier 1 project in the WRIA 9 Salmon Recovery Plan, fulfilling a core recovery strategy of restoring,
protecting and enhancing estuary habitat in the Duwamish River. The trail connection has been discussed
in the community for many years and is anticipated to be part of larger, popular shoreline trail.
STATUS: The project is currently at 50% design,
MAINTENANCE IMPACT:
COMMENT:
FINANCIAL (in thousands)
This is a work in progress. The Green Infrastructure Program Proposal is intended, in part, to address
maintenance needs for PW-initiated habitat restoration projects and helping to alleviate pressure on Parks'
given resource constraints. Note that vegetation management maintenance needs decrease over time as
planted vegetation matures. 3 years is considered a rule of thumb for plant establishment.
This grant funded project is being implemented as part of the PW Shops Ph 2 project. There are
expectations by the granting agency that the project will be constructed. It is the middle link of the
Duwamish Gardens/Chinook Wind trail and "blue belt" aquatic restoration corridor.
