Project aims to restore fish habitat to the Pilchuck River

GRANITE FALLS — Washingtonians less ingratiated to the expected heat this week will choose to stay indoors. However, some residents of Granite Falls, Lake Stevens, and Snohomish will be found lounging on the stony banks of the Pilchuck River.

The foliage surrounding the river is dense and lush. The water moves swiftly. The air is filled with the smell of earth and the sound of birdsong.

Only the whizzing of cars just above the riverbank betrays the hustle and bustle of Snohomish County suburbia.

A sound far more rare than the constant vehicular humming: the splash of a fish.

A new project to restore this fish habitat along Highway 92 in the Pilchuck River will commence Monday. The $633,000 project, organized by the state Department of Transportation, will place log jacks in a portion of the river that road work has disconnected from its floodplain and damaged fish habitat.
