Lake Sammamish State Park Wetland, Stream and Lakeshore Restoration Plan
Issaquah, Washington
The Watershed Company prepared an award-winning sensitive area restoration plan for the 512-acre Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah as part of park master planning and redevelopment. The Park is primarily a day-use facility with swimming beaches, a boat launch, picnic shelters, trails, and sports fields; but much of it is undeveloped and includes vast wetlands, lakeshore areas, and three salmon-bearing streams. Extensive field assessment of the site was completed; and prospective restoration project areas were evaluated, and ranked. Cost estimate and permit analyses were completed. Presentations were made to parks and citizens groups. The work won an Honor Award from the Washington Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
