Sand bags stacked along the edge of the Duwamish River in South Park after the flooding in December 2022. SPU installed a semi-permanent flood barrier of sandbags to help mitigate the impacts of future flood events.

Background

In 2020, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) awarded the City of Seattle a $600,000 grant to work with community partners in the Duwamish Valley on a strategy that will improve health, increase community resilience, and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate. This work will specifically deliver on key actions identified in the City-community shared Duwamish Valley Action Plan that was released in 2018.
