Creek Restoration
Pipers Creek
Pipers Creek -- which runs through Carkeek Park in Northwest Seattle -- has been the focus for generations of local volunteers.
Urban Creeks Legacy projects in the area include:
1. Pipers Creek Restoration was completed in 1999 in Carkeek Park.
2. Street Edge Alternatives (S.E.A.) Streets, a demonstration project using innovative drainage design and landscaping instead of traditional curbs and gutters.
