Final Cultural Resources Assessment As Approved by FTA on March 31, 2016 Swift II Bus Rapid Transit Final Cultural Resources Assessment As approved by FTA on March 31, 2016 Prepared for Prepared by Environmental Science Associates Swift BRT II Cultural Resource Assessment Submitted to OTAK 11241 Willows Road NE, Suite 200 Redmond, WA 98052 Prepared for Community Transit Prepared by Alicia B. Valentino, Ph.D. and Chanda Schneider This report is exempt from public distribution and disclosure (RCW 42.56.300) ESA Project Number 120361.02 Swift BRT II Cultural Resource Assessment ABSTRACT Environmental Science Associates (ESA) was retained by OTAK on behalf of Community Transit to conduct a cultural resources survey for the Swift II Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) II project. Community Transit is preparing to construct approximately thirty-four (34) BRT stations along an approximate 12-mile corridor, which includes portions of SR 527, SR 96/132 nd Street SE, 128th Street SE/SW, Airport Road, and Seaway Boulevard. Many of the proposed stations are located either on existing paved sidewalks/roadways or on previously disturbed vegetated areas along the road corridor. The project will involve construction of an in-lane, concrete bus pad approximately 70 foot by 16 feet, and the station platform and sidewalk approach will be modified to meet surrounding site conditions such as abutting sidewalks, ADA ramps, street paving, landscaping, and curbs and gutters. ESA performed pedestrian survey, subsurface survey, and recorded historic properties in and adjacent to the Area of Potential Effect (APE). No National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) properties or archaeological sites were identified during the project. ESA recommends that site 45-KI-528, located approximately 300 feet to the east of the intersection of SR 527 and 196 th Street SE (where sidewalk improvements are proposed) is not eligible for listing in the NRHP. The site does not retain integrity and is not eligible under any of the four National Register criteria for listing. If DAHP concurs with this recommendation, then sidewalk improvements proposed for the area east of the intersection of SR 527 and 196 th Street SE, would not have an effect to Historic Properties. While the potential for encountering archaeological resources is low throughout the APE, ESA recommends the development of an Inadvertent Discovery Plan (IDP) that will outline protocols and procedures to be followed in the event of construction encountering cultural resources.

  • Narrative and Graphic Source Material
    Source descriptions for features in a geodatabase of Puget Sound’s pre-settlement river valley, estuary and nearshore habitats (September 14, 2008 version) Introduction This is a supplement to a Geographic Information System (GIS) geodatabase of the Puget Sound area’s riverine and nearshore environments as reconstructed for the pre- settlement (mid-19th century) era. It consists of descriptions of mapped features. The descriptions include source materials that were used, and discussion on how they were used. Features are primarily wetlands, channels, and landforms. Features are indexed by an identifying code that is linked to the geodatabase. The code consists of three letters that identify the river or oceanographic basin, followed by the township and range (all townships are North, and ranges are identified as East or West, by “E” or “W”) and a number given to features sequentially within each township. Some nearshore features are identified by a separate coding system consisting of a WRIA (Washington Water Resource Inventory Area) number and a unique number within the WRIA. Numerous excerpts from Public Land Survey (PLS) field notes are included; generally the notes’ idiosyncratic usage, grammar, and punctuation are preserved. At present this document contains source descriptions for aquatic habitats. With time descriptions will be added of additional features, or more information will be added for features already in the narrative (e.g., on the seasonal inundation characteristics of wetlands). Source descriptions will also be added for different types of features not included at this time (e.g., forest composition). How to cite this document: Collins, B. D. 2008. Source descriptions for features in a geodatabase of Puget Sound’s pre-settlement river valley, estuary and nearshore habitats (September 14, 2008 version).

    FINAL 01/17/2020 SKYKOMISH & SNOHOMISH RIVERS Interpretive Signage Themes/Content Prepared for Snohomish County Parks, Recreation and Tourism Contents 1 Overview Background Goals Process Key Concepts and Ideas 3 Interpretive Themes Primary Theme: Rivers as Lifeways Sub-Theme: Rivers and Treaty Rights Cultural Heritage Interpretive Concepts Interpretive Symbol Lushootseed Names Traditional Stories Personal Views of the River 7 River Access Sites: Interpretive Ideas 13 Growing Interpretive Support and Community Connections 13 Interpretive Partners and Future Planning 13 Appendix Overview Background The Skykomish-Snohomish Rivers system is at the heart of the history, culture, and natural lifeways of Snohomish County. In 2015, the Skykomish-Snohomish Rivers Coalition (the Coalition) formed to address the growing recreational pressure on these rivers. A working group composed of “over 25 entities representing federal, tribal, state, and local governments and agencies, businesses, civic groups, non-profit organizations and residents” met regularly to develop a “shared vision and plan for coordinated, well-managed, sustainable recreation on the river system.” One result of the discussions that have been ongoing since 2015 is the Skykomish-Snohomish Rivers Recreation Concept Plan, with a working draft released in August of 2018. The concept plan included a series of visions and goals as well as key considerations for coordinated recreation management. The plan also provided general recommendations and proposed public river access sites accompanied by a detailed inventory of current landowner management. Among the major concerns expressed in the plan were safety on the rivers and protection of fish and habitat as recreational use increased. As part of ongoing efforts to address these issues, Snohomish County Parks, Recreation, and Tourism funded a project in 2018-2019 to develop and recommend a Wayfinding and Interpretive Signage Program for up to 11 access sites designated along the Skykomish-Snohomish River system.
