Lower Duwamish River

The Duwamish River, once a wide, meandering river with large areas of mudflats and marshes, was largely lost by the 1940s through channelization and filling to support industrial and commercial development. Hazardous substances have been released since the early 1900s, resulting in injuries to fish, birds, wildlife, and their habitats. More information...
