King County Executive Girmay Zahilay recently visited the Chinook Wind project in Tukwila to learn more about the project and see the habitat restoration work of employees from the Department of Natural Resources and Parks’ (DNRP) Water and Land Resources Division.

“Yesterday I visited the hard working staff of King County’s Water and Land Resources Division at DNRP to see the Chinook Wind project in Tukwila. What used to be a rundown hotel site is now transformed back into natural habitat that will support salmon recovery for generations to come,” Executive Zahilay said. “Salmon are essential to our ecosystem, our economy, and to Tribal nations whose cultures and treaty rights are deeply connected to healthy fish populations. When we restore habitat, we improve water quality, reduce flood risk, strengthen climate resilience, and protect biodiversity across our region.” See the full post on Facebook.
