I’m proud of yet another cool project that Renton has helped to make a reality in the Puget Sound region. So many good things to come out of this project, part of which includes cleaning up a salmon stream to try and help bring back our local stocks to sustainable numbers and connecting to the foothills trail system.
You can read all about the project at this link from Renton Patch.
What I love about living in this city is that we have a diverse community that is constantly striving to improve itself with thoughtful projects. Helping to redeem waterways that salmon use to spawn is a great thing and the use of permeable sidewalk material helps to dampen pollution/runoff. Taking an old industrial site and turning it into a greenway with use for the public is fantastic and connecting it to even larger trail systems is good for everyone and not just folks in Renton. Thinking outside its borders and how our community affects those around us is a good thing to do. Love that it doesn’t have that feel of NIMBY…
