About us
Swamp Creek Habitat Restoration Project is a community-led habitat restoration project sponsored by Sno-King Watershed Council in collaboration with the City of Kenmore. We work in Wallace Swamp Creek Park with the goal of restoring native vegetation to improve biodiversity and habitat for native wildlife and revitalize the Swamp Creek Watershed. Our current stewardship is focused on removing invasive species from the park to make way for later native plantings.
We do this work on the ancestral land of the first peoples of this region–the Coast Salish, the Stillaguamish, the Duwamish, the Suquamish, the Sammamish–peoples who have stewarded this land since time immemorial and who are very much alive and present as good stewards of the land to this day. It is with gratitude to and because of them that we have the honor of tending to this land with the hope of restoring it to a healthy, native ecosystem where native insects, fish, birds, and mammals, including humans, can be sustained and thrive for generations to come.
Alone we can do a little. Together we can do a lot.
Families and all ages welcome! Environmental stewards under the age of 18, please bring a parent or guardian along with you.
We would love to have you!

Earth's Greatest Enemy film screening
Kenmore City Hall, 18120 68th Ave NE, Kenmore, WA, USJoin Northshore Social Justice Action Group and community organizers for a FREE film screening of Earth's Greatest Enemy on Saturday, May 9, 2026 at 3 pm at Kenmore City Hall* (18120 68th Ave NE, Kenmore, WA 98028). The film runs ~120 minutes. There will be a short moderated discussion after the screening.
Earth’s Greatest Enemy, the second feature film project by Abby Martin, is a groundbreaking anti-imperialist environmental documentary. Exempt from international climate agreements and rarely scrutinized in mainstream reporting, the Pentagon is the world’s single largest institutional polluter—spewing carbon, contaminating water, and scarring landscapes across the globe. Combining investigative journalism, striking visuals, and stories from impacted communities, this film challenges audiences to rethink the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences. Provocative, urgent, and eye-opening, this is a documentary that will change how you see both the military and environmentalism.
*The views and opinions expressed in this film are those of the filmmaker and do not necessarily reflect the official policy, position, or views of the City, its employees, or the City Council. Rental of the venue to community members is not an endorsement by the City of the views expressed in the film.

Northshore Social Justice Action Group was formed to provide support to individuals and groups in our community that have been, or are at risk of being, denied access to social justice.
We know that those most impacted by injustice must guide the solution. Therefore, we seek to be guided by accountability relationships with leaders and members of groups denied access to social justice - taking their lead as we advocate for change in local institutions and government.Our community is defined as the Northshore cities of Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, Bothell and Woodinville and adjacent unincorporated areas of King and Snohomish Counties. Our actions start in our local community but then extend further as requested by accountability relationships.
