In 2009, the Port of Seattle Commission adopted the Lower Duwamish River Habitat Restoration Plan. The plan identifies over 70 acres of habitat restoration and enhancement opportunities on port-owned property on the Lower Duwamish River — from the southern tip of Harbor Island to the turning basin near the south end of Boeing Field. Adoption of the plan was preceded by a robust public involvement process that included shoreline property owners, businesses, Native American tribes, community members and environmental groups. The plan is now being used by the port to guide its habitat restoration investments on the Duwamish.
