Brightwater Center — Friday, Feb. 19, 2016

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

Don't let the fact that this walk is part of the sewage treatment center deterr you, this is a nice place to walk and there is a lot to see. There are graveled trails, interpretive signage about wetlands,salmon habitat, native plants etc. There are ponds, streams and wetlands that feed into Little Bear Creek. We saw a mix of ducks, one cormorant and heard blackbirds. The plantings are beautiful, native plants mixed with ornamentals and all irrigated with treated water. The center was closed today but this is so close I will be back to check it out before a walk. This was my 2nd 'healing hike' and a nice walk in spite of its location. Turn in by the purple pipes and the parking lot is on the left. There is a portapotty behind the Center building.
