The basketball court drains into the bioswale adjacent to the large parking lot. The soils and contour of the land enhances stormwater filtration and treatment.

Squalicum Creek Park

The water at this popular swimming area is kept clean through innovative stormwater treatment.

Bloedel Donovan Park

Cattails, shoreline trees, and water lilies abound in this pond that feeds Fever Creek. It’s a magnet for wildlife, water borne creatures, and birds.

Barkley Trails

The sidewalk at the museum demonstrates the benefits such as textural interest and separation of public spaces from the road provided by low-impact stormwater management.

Downtown Bellingham

Water flows from the watershed above Fairhaven to Lake Padden, down Padden Gorge, through Happy Valley and into Fairhaven. It finally reaches the bay here at Padden Estuary.
