King County Cemetery Pond wetland restoration and protection project
We appreciate your feedback and ideas on the Cemetery Pond 30% design for the stormwater park and wetland restoration.
The existing wetland is approximately 7.6 acres with 5.4 acres of buffer. The project will remove about two acres of fill depending on the results of community co-design, permitting, and construction funding.
See the site map and design draft at Cemetery Pond Wetland Protection and Restoration - King County, Washington.
The site investigation, design, and permitting phases to protect and restore the wetland began in 2022. This phase will improve stormwater management by designing options to remove about two acres of historic fill.
The goal is to expand the wetland and restore required planting buffers while reducing maintenance costs through sustainable design practices and community stewardship.
Design phase: What is a capital project 30% design? An initial design that defines the major elements needed to meet project goals and helps start the discussion!
