Restoration involved:
In 2022, the City of Issaquah will replace a pipe culvert barrier at East Lake Sammamish Parkway (ELSP) with a fish-friendly passage and relocate a significant section of the creek to a forested area within State Park property. Laughing Jacobs Creek is one of just four spawning creeks for endangered Lake Sammamish kokanee. (CLICK THE THUMBNAIL IMAGE to visit the project page.)
