Watch For Tree Survey Work Along Sammamish River Trail

From King County: Crews working for King County’s Lake Hills and NW Lake Sammamish Sewer Upgrade Project are continuing field work activities to support final design for the Lake Hills and NW Lake Sammamish Sewer Upgrade Project. Crews will survey trees along the Sammamish River Trail during the week of July 24.

This work is part of the project environmental review. Knowing what trees are in the area helps us develop a design that limits our impact to them. Where impacts are unavoidable, King County will work closely with local jurisdictions and partner agencies to develop a plan for restoration. Please contact Kelly Foley at 206-477-8621 or kelly.foley@kingcounty.gov for any questions about the tree survey.

What you can expect:

• Work will last approximately two weeks, starting as early as July 24
• Work hours 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday
• Crews wearing reflective vests will walk along the Sammamish River Trail near Redmond City Hall and Marymoor and Luke McRedmond parks to count and identify characteristics of trees near the project area, including tree species, size, and condition
• A small metal tag will be placed on each tree that has been counted in the inventory
