How big are the Wetlands?
The portion of wetlands on the Project Site is approximately 0.14 acres. That is the portion of wetlands furthest uphill, and the only portion of the wetlands that have been properly identified. The wetlands extend from there all the way down to Puget Sound at the foot of the North Creek Basin. The City of Burien has refused to delineate the wetlands in spite of receiving petitions with the signatures of several hundred people asking that they do so. So until we are able to hire our own hydrologists all we can do is estimate the size, but they appear to cover an area of approximately 30 acres.
