Lundeen Creek Regains Its Glory

Once forced into a ditch, the stream near Lake Stevens is again lined with plants and full of fish.
LAKE STEVENS — The air is sweeter along Lundeen Creek these days as thousands of plants take root in one of Snohomish County’s most distinctive restoration projects.
“It’s kind of refreshing out here, better than the chlorine air I usually breathe,” said 16-year-old Nathan Schaffer of Marysville.
Schaffer joined his Mighty Marlins swim team last weekend to help put in hundreds of new plants along the creek’s route.
Supporters celebrated substantial completion of the nearly $750,000 restoration project, paid for by the county and the city of Lake Stevens.
