During the 1990s, biologists at the Seattle Water Dept. undertook the photo-documentation of Seattle's creeks. Represented in the collection are North Seattle creeks such as Thornton Creek located in the Lake City neighborhood, and Venema and Piper's Creeks located in Carkeek Park. South End and Central Seattle creeks such as Taylor, Fauntleroy, and Lowman's Creeks are also represented. This collection gives an in-depth look at subjects concerning Seattle's numerous watersheds such as erosion, water quality, drainage, construction, the state of tributaries and retention ponds, dams, bridges, and culverts. Also, this collection offers a look at creek maintenance, slide damage, equipment, soil testing, and other activities undertaken by the utility department to keep Seattle's watershed functioning and serving the citizens of the city.
