City of Bothell, Sammamish River Side-Channel Restoration Monitoring Project;

Bothell, WA: 2022 – 2023

MSA provided year-5 monitoring services for a 1,100-foot-long remnant channel and wetland floodplain at the Sammamish River Park’s Off-Channel Habitat Restoration Site, located along the Sammamish River/Burke-Gilman Trail. Site goals included connecting off-channel habitat to the Sammamish River to create accessible salmonid rearing and thermal refuge habitat, as well as re-establishing the critical functions of the wetland and riparian habitat along the Sammamish River. Performance standards included stream habitat and channel surveys, water quality monitoring, fish surveys, vegetation monitoring, and ecosystem development.
