Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration

The Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration Project is a partnership of tribal, city, state and federal agencies aimed at restoring a critical tidal wetland in the Snohomish River estuary. The Qwuloolt Estuary is located within the Snohomish River floodplain approximately three miles upstream from its outlet to Puget Sound and within theMarysville City limits.

Historically, the area was tidal marsh and forest scrub-shrub habitat, interlaced by tidal channels, mudflats, and streams. Today, the project area area is cutoff by levees from the natural influences of the river and tides, drained by ditches instead of stream channels, and stripped of its native vegetation. Through the cooperation of its many partners, this project will return the historic and natural influences of the river and tides to the Qwuloolt.
