Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections (SDCI) is currently reviewing plans for a NEW six-story apartment block with 410 units and 256 parking places at the site of the former Kindred Hospital (10631 8th Avenue NE). The current design requires all building traffic to enter and exit on 8th Ave NE, a designated pedestrian and bicycle greenway, within feet of Thornton Creek at Beaver Pond Natural Area (BPNA) and its tributaries.
Since early last year, Thornton Creek Alliance has been working with Muckleshoot and Duwamish representatives on a possible Lushootseed name for the new natural area that the City of Seattle acquired along the creek at 2318 NE 125th Street in 2019
Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is responsible for maintenance work on the City of Seattle’s waterways. Thornton Creek, as many know, is the largest of the urban drainages in both Seattle and Shoreline. Much of the maintenance revolves around keeping the channel open and flowing relatively unobstructed to minimize flooding in low lying residential areas.
The Thornton Creek Bridges Study has explored rehabilitation and replacement options for four bridges in the Meadowbrook neighborhood at: NE 110th St., 39th Ave Ne, NE 105th St. near 39th Ave Ne, and NE 95th St. near Sand Point Way. The study intends to identify solutions that included long term multi-modal transportation demands for biking, walking, driving, and mass transit.
Thornton Creek Alliance (TCA) is a grassroots, nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and restoring an ecological balance in the Thornton Creek watershed, a drainage of approximately 11.6 square miles in northeast Seattle and Shoreline.
