Description:Although the Snohomish River estuary remains the second largest tidal wetland complex in Puget Sound, approximately 90% of pre-settlement habitat has been disconnected from tidal exchange. This estuary is currently the focus of the largest restoration effort in Puget Sound, with opportunity to restore tidal exchange to over 50% of pre-settlement levels. The Snohomish River also currently supports populations of all anadromous Pacific salmon species, including Endangered Species Act listed Chinook ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ), steelhead ( O. mykiss ), and bull trout ( Salvelinus confluentus ). The combination of extant anadromous Pacific salmon populations, large existing tidal wetland complexes, and large
