This crowdsourced timelapse video highlights one of two sites along Padden Creek where fish passage was improved as part of the Padden Creek Fish Passage Improvement Project . Completed in spring 2026, the project removed two City-owned fish passage barriers where the Interurban Trail crosses Padden Creek near 12th and 14th Streets. This photo station is located on top of a new fish-friendly culvert that was installed as part of the project.
Your photos help document how the site changes over time as native vegetation becomes established, creating the shade, nutrients, and habitat that support a healthier creek for fish and wildlife.
The City of Bellingham has a rich variety of fish and wildlife habitats. There are over 75 miles of shoreline in Bellingham, including the marine nearshore of Bellingham Bay, lakes, and streams. Bellingham also contains approximately 1,000 acres of wetlands and over 10,000 acres of forest. These habitats provide corridors for fish and wildlife and are the foundation for important ecosystem functions on which we all depend. Protecting and restoring these habitats helps support fish and wildlife populations and the quality of life we enjoy. The City’s Natural Resources Division of the Public Works Department manages a Restoration Program to protect and restore these habitats.
