The City of Tukwila recently completed the purchase of the Duwamish Gardens site. The property includes three parcels totaling 2.16
acres and is located along the Duwamish River just west of East Marginal Way S. The site contains two houses, a barn, and several outbuildings.
The City plans to restore the site to promote salmon recovery within the Green/Duwamish watershed by removing the structures, excavating
the site to create shallow water habitat, planting the slopes with native vegetation, and constructing a short trail and overlook.
Acquisition of this property was made possible by various funding sources including Conservation Futures Tax (CFT), Salmon Recovery Funding
Board (SRFB), Washington State Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA), King Conservation District (KCD), Washington State Capital Budget,
and the City of Tukwila. Additional grant funding will be sought for the design and construction phases of the project.
The Duwamish Gardens site is not currently open to the public
