Meeting - Tuesday, March 19, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber.
CARING FOR ECHO LAKE AND DOWNSTREAM
You may often wonder why care so much about lakes and streams that flow into Puget Sound if you don’t even live right next to one? Our Echo Lake Neighborhood includes several large important watersheds with creeks that flow downstream into Lake Washington through Lake Forest Park or Matthews Beach to the southeast. Any runoff from our lawns, driveways and streets likely enter storm drains and Echo Lake, which then drains into Lake Ballinger and
later McAleer Creek.
This month we will learn about how our landscaping, lawn care and even washing our cars affects the health of salmon and our resident Orcas of Puget Sound. Cameron Reed, City of Shoreline Environmental Program Specialist, will discuss the Soak It Up rebate program, in which you could receive up to $1600 for purchased native plants or installing a rain garden that keeps potentially polluted run off from entering our waterways AND at the same time saves water. Special guest speaker, Dr. Jeff Jensen, University of Washington / Bothell, will give us updates on the exciting kokanee salmon research and reintroduction “downstream” in McAleer and Lyons Creeks. Join us to learn about PNW native plant choices and find out just what is a “rain garden”.
