Join us for a Volunteer Event on Duwamish Riverbend Hill

• Saturday July 26 from 10am to 1pm

About the Property:

In 2001, Cascade Land Conservancy, the City of Tukwila, and a local citizen group formed a partnership to work for the preservation of an undeveloped parcel of land on the Duwamish River.  The Duwamish Riverbend Hill property was successfully acquired in March 2004 by the Cascade Land Conservancy and the City of Tukwila.

Preserving natural and cultural history along the Duwamish River

The property is managed as a public open space preserve devoted to the interpretation of the site’s Native American cultural significance and other aspects of Duwamish River Valley natural and cultural history.

This property consists of an unusual outcropping of bedrock rising above the Duwamish River, as well as 600 feet of river shoreline.  The property is culturally significant for its association with southern Puget Sound Salish oral tradition and history, as a key location in the stories collectively known as the “Epic of the Winds.”

Boots, work clothes, gloves, appropriate layers for the weather, and a water bottle
