Location: King County, East Sammamish Plateau

Acreage: 640.00 acres

Ownership History: CLC assisted in the transfer of this land to King County Parks ownership in 1993.

Property Description: Section 36 park is a beautiful property containing pristine wetlands, rolling woods and forest.  The northwest corner contains a portion of a critical open water wetland, and the rest of Section 36 drains directly into Patterson Creek.

Conservation Values: As the surrounding area has been developed, refuges have diminished, which makes this property an important habitat for wildlife and waterfowl.  The northern half of the property is covered with a 60-year-old hardwood forest containing primarily bigleaf maple and red alder trees, with intermittent Douglas firs and western red cedars.
