The Last Meander
In 1976 Duwamish Tribe Chairwoman Cecile Hanson’s efforts saved ancestral remains and preserved the last remaining river meander. Today, the land formerly slated as Terminal 107 offers Herrings House and həʔapus Village Parks. To the east, Kellogg Island sits as a remnant of the dredging of the Waterway, having been severed from the eastward tidal flats. These west bank parks allow us to directly engage this avulsion, and a segment of the Duwamish Trail runs parallel, perched above the sole remaining meander. A vast majority of this land remains the property of the Port of Seattle.
