This project is to restore the beach habitat to benefit endangered salmon and subsequently renovate the upland portions of the park impacted by the habitat restoration project, essentially the same process as for the South Shoreline project which was completed December 2008.

We are currently developing partnerships with the US Army Corps of Engineers, WA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and the Watershed (WRIA-9). In 2008, we plan to evaluate various seawall removal options and prepare a preliminary design and cost estimate.

Beach restoration may take place in 2009 or 2010. Park renovation would then take place in 2011 and 2012.

 The ESC has renovating the caretaker cottage at Seahurst to provide for a future education center and meeting space. The first phase of the project shall be completed in February 2010 and included the complete remodelling of the building shell and other exterior elements. The second phase of the project to complete all interior improvements is currently unfunded. We should know more about next steps soon.
