I'm positively impressed at how some of the storm water management areas get to be designed for multiple purposes, including water management, but also trails for waking and wildlife habitat.

This is Meadowbrook Pond, in Seattle. In a short time there we saw two types of ducks, a heron, Canadian geese (some fighting for territory), a kingfisher, a few crows and an eagle. A small oasis in the city.

Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks Park

A combination of design art and nature, this 104-acre park features a trail that winds through Mill Creek Canyon right in the city of Kent.

@clew oh neat! I didn't know about that park.

The mounds remind me of the ones at the Brightwater treatment plant.

And Brightwater is a whole generation further into multi use planning!
