Project Description:
Project#1150331: Auburn—Soos Creek Botanical Garden Preservation (match waiver)
The City of Auburn seeks to purchase approximately 18 acres of the Soos Creek Botanical
Garden, located in the Lea Hill portion of the city. The purchase of this property would provide
protection for a fish-bearing stream, Soosette Creek, and the opportunity to redress historic
disparities in access to open space. Preservation of the garden would keep this land protected in
perpetuity as a community asset and as a botanical garden of regional significance in south King
County. This project was determined to merit a match waiver. Project funding was authorized in
King County Ordinance 20023.
