Issaquah Stream and Riparian Areas Restoration Plan
Issaquah, Washington
Salmon and preservation of riparian resources have long been legacies of the City of Issaquah and its citizens. A multidisciplinary team from The Watershed Company conducted a comprehensive review of City streams, and identified and ranked 74 potential restoration projects. Conceptual restoration designs, including habitat features, bank stabilization and revegetation, were completed for the top 28 projects. A report includes an in-depth discussion of implementation strategies for the projects, including regulatory implications and funding opportunities. The Plan will guide the City's mission to preserve fish habitat and other riparian resources. The Watershed Company has also assisted other cities, such as Kirkland and Bellevue, Washington State Parks and other state and local governments with open space and habitat planning.
