Visit the event website for more information: Spencer Island Restoration Project update

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will provide an update on a major restoration project at Spencer Island in Snohomish County on Dec. 5 at an in-person meeting, alongside the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and Snohomish County Parks.

The Spencer Island restoration project intends to restore a portion of river delta that was heavily modified when the landscape was developed for grazing and agriculture in the early 1900s. The project would improve important habitat for threatened salmon, increase biodiversity, and normalize water movement at the site. Located in the Snohomish River estuary east of Everett, WDFW manages a portion of the island as the Spencer Island Unit of Snoqualmie Wildlife area.
