Then the final in our Fall programs series:
“Leque Island – From Island to Tidal Marsh”
December 11th, 2022
Sunday afternoon
4 – 6 pm
Guest Speakers: Loren Brokaw & Lindsey Desmul –
Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and partners transformed the landscape between Camano Island and Stanwood over the last three years by removing dikes and returning the area to tidal marsh. This area is called Leque Island and it now has an elevated walking trail that has been popular with the community. In this presentation, WDFW staff will cover the site history, the story of how the restoration project came to be, and the results of what has been observed since the project.
For a history of Leque Island, here is an article from a 2004 issue of the SAHS newsletter Stanwood Area Echoes.
This will be an in-Person program at the Floyd
2004 view of Leque Island from the old Mark Clark Bridge looking southwest. The Eide House has not yet been removed and the white in the distance are snow geese.
.This program and the three other programs were funded through the Snohomish County Historic Preservation 2022 Grant.
