Years ago, the "Adopt A Stream Foundation" (AASF) created a major project to restore Chinook salmon breeding habitat in the portion of Bear Creek that flows through "Friendly Village," a forty plus acre manufactured home residence park operated by the King County Housing Authority in eastern Redmond.

The "Adopt A Stream" Founder, Tom Murdoch designed and directed "Woods Creek Bridge Removal and Restoration project." His crew of volunteers will be planting trees in Monroe Valentines Day, 2026. Woods Creek is a tributary to the Skykomish River. It took ten years for completion; and a lot of it fundraising.
