    Project Description    
The City of Mukilteo is seeking to daylight a portion of Japanese Gulch Creek where it meets the Puget Sound. 100% plans have been completed which would remove existing underground pipes and restore a natural stream bed for the terminus of the creek. The project would involve removing an existing 48" round concrete culvert that runs from the BNSF rail line to an outfall on the Puget Sound. This would be replaced with a fish passable culvert under 1st St and create a natural, open channel pocket estuary.Creation of an estuary will offer a habitat for juvenile Chinook, Coho, Chum, Pink, and Steelhead. Removal/replacement of the culvert will improve access for spawning Coho and Chum to better access the Japanese Gulch Creek Riparian system.The project has been fully designed and we are asking for funding to complete federal, state, and local permitting and to finalize the design based on comments from permitting agencies.
