- Samish River Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Samish River Unit covers 107 acres in northwest Skagit County. The unit was comprised of agricultural land until WDFW acquired it in 2004. The federal Natural Resource Conservation Service holds an easement on the property which allows for 15 acres to be managed with agricultural enhancements for migratory waterfowl forage. The remainder of the unit is a mix of sculpted wetlands, grass fields, and shrub-scrub habitat. Two waterfowl hunting areas on the unit are managed by WDFW’s Private Lands Access Program.
- Welcome to Seattle’s Laurelhurst Neighborhood (laurelhurstcc.com)
Established in 1920, the mission of the Laurelhurst Community Council is to foster an inclusive sense of community in this northeast Seattle neighborhood. In September 2025, the name was changed from Laurelhurst Community Club to Laurelhurst Community Council. LCC works to identify and address community concerns and to provide a forum to promote solutions by working with the community at other large civic organizations and local and state governments. LCC trustees and many others serve on committees, represent the community in other organizations, and work on community improvement or special projects or specific issues such as crime prevention, transportation, the environment, or land use. These neighbors contribute hundreds of hours each year to maintain the livability and vitality of our community.
