Finally got ahold of Auburn, and the restoration folks

And in an voice message on my cell phone, the conservationist there said yes, they've received a grant $20,000, I think, to begin restoratin work along Mill Creek, which does begin in Kent, or go through Kent, I should say, but it doesn't include any work in Kent.

Only the Auburn portion. I drive past these sites almost every day, and the animals and birds seems to like them. It's too bad that the entire creek can't be preserved and restored.
