Stillaguamish[edit | edit source]

The Stillaguamish is a river located in the U.S. state of Washington. It is a significant geographical feature in the region and plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem. The river is named after the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians, a federally recognized tribe in the United States.

Geography[edit | edit source]

The Stillaguamish River is formed by the confluence of the North Fork Stillaguamish River and South Fork Stillaguamish River. It flows westward through the Cascade Range, eventually emptying into Port Susan, an inlet of the Puget Sound. The river's watershed covers an area of approximately 700 square miles, encompassing parts of Snohomish County and Skagit County.

Ecology[edit | edit source]

The Stillaguamish River is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including several species of salmon, trout, and other fish. The river's watershed provides critical habitat for these species, as well as for a variety of birds, mammals, and other wildlife. The river's health is closely monitored by various environmental and conservation organizations, including the Stillaguamish Tribe.

Human Impact and Conservation[edit | edit source]

Human activities, including logging, agriculture, and urban development, have had significant impacts on the Stillaguamish River and its watershed. Efforts are ongoing to restore and protect the river's health, including habitat restoration projects and initiatives to reduce pollution. The Stillaguamish Tribe plays a leading role in these efforts, working in partnership with local, state, and federal agencies.
