Harris Creek fish passage project
Snoqualmie-Skykomish Watershed
The Harris Creek Fish Passage Restoration – Snoqualmie Basin 2015 project is located approximately 3 miles east of the city of Duvall, north of Stillwater, at the intersection of NE Stossel Creek Way and NE 138th Place. Harris Creek is a tributary to the Snoqualmie River, entering the right bank at approximately river mile 19. The project location is approximately five miles upstream from the confluence with the Snoqualmie River.
Project location
Project purpose
This project restored fish passage to more than 4 miles of upstream habitat on Harris Creek and its tributaries. Harris Creek supports coho, steelhead/rainbow, and cutthroat trout.
Project features
The Harris Creek Fish Passage Improvement Project:
- removed a 25-foot long failed concrete fishway and
- installed a roughened channel of well graded streambed mixture and logs for approximately 95-feet.

Issues moving forward
Per WDFW and ACOE permit requirements we will monitor the vegetation establishment for 3 years to confirm 80-percent survival. Our ERES monitoring group will monitor channel and vegetation responses over the next 5-years under the adopted monitoring plan established during the design phase.
Key lessons learned and/or vexing issues that need follow up
Other than some initial design delays due to workload conflicts, this project actually went quite smoothly.
