Longfellow Creek Stewards

Join DNDA and Duwamish Alive! Coalition as part of our Longfellow Creek Stewardship Program! This community-based initiative provides volunteers with the opportunity to do hands-on water quality monitoring at six locations in Longfellow Creek.

Volunteers monitor once per month throughout the year, measuring temperature, pH, turbidity, and more. This data is invaluable for detecting pollution, evaluating the restoration efforts of organizations like DNDA, and empowering the community to learn about and advocate for their local urban creek.

Longfellow Creek Diaries Project

The iconic Longfellow Creek runs the length of West Seattle. From its headwaters at Roxhill all the way to Elliot Bay, Longfellow Creek is an important part of this city’s story and that of our community. We want your personal stories of the creek in this community Diary of Longfellow – past experiences, current activities or special memories all help tell the tapestry of Longfellow’s story.
