Travels with Charlie: Balancing Wetlands and Urban Life

By Gordon Snyder

After taking some photos of the geothermal well project, Charlie and I headed to Swamp Creek Park in Kenmore. We parked and headed up the path. Charlie has learned to stay on the paths as we explore wetlands. This nice path is a good example of Balancing Wetlands and Urban Life.

You begin to hear something unusual in an urban environment. A creek flowing! Up around the bend, you see Swamp Creek tumbling, splashing and flowing along. What a wonderful sound and site.

Walking down the path, we catch a glorious treat of green mosses in sunlight.

Take any time you can to wander thru Wallace Swamp Creek Park, it will be good for you.
