King County to Remove 65-Year-Old River Structure in Three Forks Park

Snoqualmie, WALocal News

King County will start removing the Scott Revetment in Three Forks County Park on August 25, a structure that has restricted natural river processes for over 60 years. Originally built to protect livestock grazing land, the revetment now incurs maintenance costs without safeguarding any critical infrastructure. The habitat restoration project aims to enhance fish and wildlife habitats by planting native trees and shrubs while removing invasive species. Construction will run Monday through Friday from 7 a. m.

to 7 p. m. and Saturdays from 9 a. m. to 7 p.

m. , with traffic flaggers on 428th Avenue SE. The King County Flood Control District selected this project to complement the Mason Thorson Ells Levee Rehabilitation Project. Removing the revetment will restore natural connections between the North Fork Snoqualmie River and its floodplain, improving aquatic and riparian habitats. King County plans extensive outreach to keep local residents and recreational users informed about construction schedules and long-term changes.

The Snoqualmie Tribe collaborates on design work, ensuring community involvement in the restoration efforts.
