Project Details/Neighborhood
- Lincoln Landing
Background
Stormwater from the North Mercerdale Hillside neighborhood and part of the town center drains into one of the City’s main stormwater channels, located at Lincoln Landing street end park. Over time this has caused eroding and silting of Lake Washington. This project will address shoreline habitat and water quality by adding rain garden features to filter pollutants and sediment before they enter Lake Washington.
