Tulalip Tribes to buy 100-acre salmon habitat near Monroe

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MONROE — Dale Reiner spent his childhood on six acres along the Skykomish River, just outside of Monroe. His family owned the land for more than 100 years.

He grew up, married the girl who lived next door, and as he got older purchased more land, some of which happened to be part of his family’s original homestead in the Tualco Valley.

A couple of years ago, the Reiners sold their 260-acre farm to PCC Farmland Trust with the promise that the property would be preserved forever. Now, the Tulalip Tribes is preparing to purchase the two miles of shore along the Skykomish River to restore the salmon habitat there.

After a lifetime spent on the plot of land he knew every inch of, Reiner won’t be around to see the restoration. He died in April at age 77.

Have driven Hwy 2 a number of times. Nice stretch of land there, would love to see it returned to watershed.
