Building Capacity for Edmonds Marsh and Estuary Restoration

Recipient: City of Edmonds, Washington

Grant Amount: $135,000 Matching Funds: $91,000

This award will collect and evaluate existing data, develop a planning process, assess the impact of contaminated soil exposure, and update hydrologic and hydraulic models to assess the effect of restoration on flood levels in the marsh, estuary, and developed portions of the City of Edmonds. The project will support the planning process for the restoration of the Edmonds Marsh, adding rare estuary and juvenile salmon habitat to Puget Sound and reducing flood risks to the city.
