City Light acquired two properties on the Skagit and Sauk Rivers for fish habitat preservation.

The Skagit River property consists of 62 acres with 500 feet of river frontage, a slough, and extensive side channels. The Sauk river property is nearly three acres with 300 feet of river frontage located just upstream of Darrington.

The purchases were funded with a grant from the Salmon Recovery Funding Board and City Light funds.

City Light holds more than 13,000 acres of land to conserve habitat for wildlife and threatened and endangered fish.
