Bear Creek Watershed Management Study report

The Bear Creek Watershed Management Study (Study) was a collaboration with King County, Snohomish County, City of Redmond, City of Woodinville, and the Washington State Department of Transportation.

The Study outlines recommendations to protect and restore the Bear Creek watershed over the long term, and a focused 10-year effort in high-priority areas.

After a public review period, the final study was submitted to the WA State Department of Ecology on April 4, 2018.
