Steamboat Mitigation Site
Almost two years after the dike was breached, a 12.5 acre site wetland mitigation site between I-5 and SR 529 in Marysville, WA is flourishing. Breaching the dike between the Snohomish River and an old landlocked estuary habitat allowed saltwater and freshwater to mix. Restoring this marine habitat provides much needed habitat for juvenile fish. The project restoring this area is part of the mitigation needed for the interchange improvements planned for I-5/SR 529.
