Mayor Jon Nehring and Tulalip Tribe Chairman Mel Sheldon on site
of the new Ebey Waterfront Trail.
Tail.
On August 28, 2015 the Qwuloolt Estuary project was completed by the Tulalip Tribes and
its partners creating the state’s second largest estuary restoration project. The levee was
breached restoring tidal marshes, tidal channels, mudfl ats and natural habitat infl uences
within the former 340-acre dairy site in south Marysville adjacent to Ebey Slough. For over
one hundred years the area had been cut-off from tidal activity as a result of the levee.
One key component of this project was the inclusion of a trail system to be developed on the existing dike and the
City has moved forward in developing the trail for public access. The new Ebey Waterfront Trail is accomplished due
to partnerships with the Tulalip Tribe, City and Aquatic Lands Enhancement Fund which is granted funds through
the States Recreation Conservation Office. The first phase of the project will be accomplished by fall of 2016. The
trail head will begin on the east side of the SR 529 overpass with the trail heading east following the shoreline to the
western breach terminal. This trail length is approximately 1.8 miles. On the east side of the breach, a new trail surface
will be installed from the eastern terminal connecting to the existing Harborview Trail for 2.4 miles of trails for public
use.
In the second phase, the new trail will be connected to the Ebey Waterfront Park utilizing a trail corridor under the SR
529 bridge. That phase may be completed in 2017.
The Ebey Waterfront Trail will feature two designed viewpoint areas overlooking the restored estuary. Trail improvements
will also include site furnishings, picnic areas, fencing and interpretive elements throughout. The City has contracted
with Mayer/Reed of Portland OR to assist in trail design, interpretive kiosks and panels as well as other amenities that
will highlight the restored estuarine habitats and efforts of the Tulalip Tribes and partners. “It is exciting to be a part of a
project that restores this estuary and supports salmon habitat while also providing us with an opportunity to open up an
incredible new recreational trail system for our community,” noted Mayor Jon Nehring. “The stunning views and access to
the wildlife of this area is something that most of our residents have not previously been able to experience.”
A trail dedication ceremony will be planned this fall. For more information, please contact Jim Ballew at the Parks,
Culture and Recreation office at 360-363-8400.

My name is Candy
Brown and I have

interested in these
fascinating creatures
and that you want
to learn more. A little about me: Education has always been an
important part of my life and was my major in college. Most of the 26 years I spent in banking was in the
training department. I thought I’d combine my
interest in birds with my education background so
developed classes about birds 10 years ago. I have
been caring for baby birds at PAWS Wildlife Hospital
for the last 15 years and joined Pilchuck Audubon
Society in 1998. My backyard, in Edmonds, is certified
as a Wildlife Sanctuary and I have counted more than
50 different species of birds visiting us here. I look
forward to meeting you!

Photography, Nature - Level 1
Taking pictures with your new DSLR is easy, just set it
on auto and shoot away. Capturing good pictures... that’s
harder. Quality photography starts with understanding
how to set your exposure manually. This is not difficult
to do. In this 3-hour workshop we’ll cover aperture and
shutter speed and show you how to change them. We’ll
discuss how to use these settings to create the image you
want. Bracketing the exposure is a key part of this and
we will set you on the right path. Also covered the use
of polarizers and capturing images in the RAW format.
Please bring your camera and laptop. If you don’t have
this equipment, no problem. Andy will help advise you
on what to purchase if you are thinking of purchasing
new equipment.

The Marysville Opera House is a performance
hall and special event venue built in 1911. It
was added to the national Register of Historic
Places in 1982. Built by the local chapter of
the Order of the Oddfellows, it provided the
citizens of Marysville with a location to host
social functions. It also provided the then remote
community with a place for traveling groups to
offer theatrical performances. Most recently it
has been used for weddings and private rentals.
