This 350-acre project re-connected former marsh that was diked and drained in the early 20th century. The restored marsh benefits salmon and wildlife and provides community access via trails. A Natural Resource Damage claim based on chemical contamination from the Tulalip landfill spearheaded the project, with other funding sources later leveraged to complete the $20 million construction. Partners included NOAA, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, State of Washington, Tulalip Tribe and local communities.
