Listening to the Plateau: protecting our creeks together

Working together to protect what the community loves about the Enumclaw Plateau: the views, wildlife, nature and creeks: Boise, Pussyfoot, and Second Creek.

Look for us at local events in 2026!

We're looking forward to connecting with community members to hear more about how you interact with the waterways in Enumclaw, especially Boise, Pussyfoot, and Second Creek. We want to understand what the Enumclaw community values about these local waterways. Your feedback will help these local creeks stay safe for people and animals.

We want to hear from you

We want to hear from you about Enumclaw’s waterways and what they mean to you. We invite you to share what you value most about your local creeks and streams. What comes to mind when you think about waterways in Enumclaw? What kinds of information or resources would be most helpful in managing your land? Your feedback helps us understand what matters to Enumclaw residents and how we can best support the community in keeping local waterways safe and resilient.

Creek-side landowners

If you live along Boise, Pussyfoot, or Second Creek, we would love to hear more about how you connect with your local creek.

If you are interested in participating in a 30-minute interview with our consultant team, we’d love to hear from you. Interviews will focus on your interests and concerns about planting trees and shrubs along the creeks. Information shared by participants will be anonymous. Interview participants will receive a $50 VISA gift card.

We look forward to connecting with you at an upcoming event!
