Since establishing ourselves at the start of the year we have had over 7500 hits from members of the community visiAng our website. It is clear to us that people from Bothell, Snohomish, Redmond, Woodinville, Kirkland, Kenmore and Seale ciAes all along the Burke-Gilman Trail believe Wayne land is very important. to them. At this Ame, over 99% of our registered visitors have voted to reject the rezone and future development on Wayne land, and we're working to represent their concerns. We have people talking today from Bothell, Mill Creek, Kirkland and Seale from our team. 4 5 6 This precious land, along the Burke-Gilman Trail, has been a recreaonal corridor since Joseph Blythe established it in 1931 for the local community. The Richards family bought it in 1950, and its been through three Generaons of ownership. In 1989 the council applied for a bond to purchase Wayne Golf Course for the City, to eXtend Blythe Park to create the Sammamish River Trail Greenway. They were quoted as wanAng to protect the open space before it was lost to developers. They tried again in 1990. In 1996 this land was recognized as important through the purchase of development rights on the front 9 when a Conservaon Easement was established for residents of Bothell and King County to enjoy the open space in perpetuity. The owners were quoted as saying they wanted to preserve this land so their kids could enjoy it. In 1997 The Open Space Taxaon was approved, reducing taxes by 90% for the Richards.

  • Kenmore Shoreline Inventory and Characterization Preliminary
    Kenmore Shoreline Inventory and Characterization Preliminary Summary of Findings Background and Purpose Cities and counties updating their Shoreline Master Program (SMP) are required to prepare an inventory and characterization of the shoreline resources in their jurisdiction. The City of Kenmore has received a grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology to complete the SMP process. As part of the City’s SMP update, a preliminary draft inventory and characterization report and map folio has been prepared and will be finalized in June of 2008, following review by Ecology and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The purpose of the study is to create a baseline inventory of conditions in the shoreline jurisdiction of the City of Kenmore using existing data sources. The inventory and characterization provides and understanding of the physical, biological, and cultural resources in the shoreline, to be used as a basis for updating the City’s SMP to comply with the Shoreline Management Act (SMA), Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 90.58 and its implementing guidelines, Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-26. The waterbodies within the City shoreline planning area include the Lake Washington, the Sammamish River, and the Main stem of Swamp Creek, and these have been broken to 10 “reaches” as outlined in Table 1 below.

    Willowmoor Restoration Design Hydrology Phase 1 – Hydrologic Characterization October 2013 Willowmoor Restoration Design Hydrology Phase 1 – Hydrologic Characterization Prepared for: King County River and Floodplain Management Section Prepared by: Northwest Hydraulic Consultants Seattle, WA October 2013 Executive Summary King County (County) is planning the Willowmoor Project, a flood control and habitat restoration project for the Sammamish River Transition Zone (TZ), which extends from the Lake Sammamish outlet weir approximately 1,400 feet downstream through Marymoor Park. Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) was contracted by the County to provide recommendations for design hydrology for the Willowmoor project. The initial phase of this work focuses on characterizing the original U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) design hydrology within the current hydrologic context and on identifying potential future hydrologic conditions to provide background for a robust project design. The Sammamish River Flood Control Project was completed by the Corps in 1964 to provide spring flood control for the Sammamish River valley. The project was designed to accommodate an event similar to the March 1950 storm, which was the spring flow of record at the time. The design objectives were to eliminate flooding for a design flow of 1,500 cfs in the Sammamish River downstream of Bear Creek while keeping Lake Sammamish levels below 29.0 feet NGVD (32.6 feet NAVD).1 The design flow was characterized by the Corps as a 10-year annual flood or a 40-year spring flood, meaning that on average that flow had a ten percent chance of occurring at all or a 2.5 percent chance of occurring after March 1 in any given year.
