    "headline": "Chico Creek's salmon run is the payoff of three bridges built in ten years",
    "dek": "A tribal bridge in 2014, a county bridge in 2020 and the state's $56.8 million highway bridges in 2024 took the barriers off Kitsap's most productive wild salmon stream. This November is the second run since the last one came out.",
    "prose": "On the Kitsap Peninsula, Chico Creek is a productive wild salmon system.[^1] This fall, tens of thousands of Pacific salmon, chum and coho among them, started up Kitsap County streams to spawn.[^2] The run peaks in late November.[^3] The fish come back to these waterways every fall.[^4] On Chico Creek, this is the second fall run since the last of three crossings was rebuilt to let fish through.[^5]\n\nPut the three projects in a row and the pattern is plain. Each barrier that came out was bigger than the last, and so was each bill. The tribe started with a single culvert in 2014.[^6] The county followed with a $2.5 million bridge.[^7] The state finished with $56.8 million of highway bridges.[^8]\n\n## The first bridge: Kitty Hawk Drive, 2014\n\nThe Suquamish Tribe took out the first barrier. Tom Ostrom led the Chico Creek culvert removal project for the tribe.[^9] Ground broke on the Kitty Hawk Drive culvert on June 17, 2014.[^10] Workers replaced the culvert with a bridge that fall.[^6]\n\nThe tribe's case for the work was simple. Culverts impede fish passage and damage creek beds.[^11] The stakes at the mouth of the creek were high. Five species of Pacific salmon rear in the Chico estuary.[^12] Road construction in the early 1960s destroyed five acres of that estuary habitat.[^13]\n\nEven then, the tribe had its eye on the biggest barrier of all. It planned to remove a 400-foot culvert under State Route 3.[^14] That culvert ranked second highest for replacement in the state's Olympia Region.[^15]\n\n## The second bridge: Golf Club Hill Road, 2019 to 2020\n\nKitsap County went next. A contractor started work to remove a fish barrier culvert on Chico Creek on April 29, 2019.[^16] Kitsap County Public Works built a new bridge at the Golf Club Hill Road crossing.[^17] The county ran the project in partnership with the Suquamish Tribe.[^18]\n\nThe scale went up. A triple concrete box culvert gave way to a 140-foot concrete girder bridge.[^19] The original culvert had been installed by the federal government in the 1940s.[^20] Interwest Construction held the $2.5 million contract.[^7] Funding came from a state grant and the Kitsap County Road Fund.[^21] Culvert removal was scheduled for summer 2020.[^22] The county expected to finish in October 2020.[^23] Chico Salmon County Park closed for the work starting April 29, 2019.[^24] The county kept the road open while it built the bridge. Construction ran 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.[^25] One lane stayed open for alternating traffic.[^26] Motorists were warned of brief delays.[^27] Emergency vehicles kept full access at all times.[^28]\n\n## The third bridge: State Route 3, 2021 to 2024\n\nThe state took the last and largest barrier. The Washington State Department of Transportation runs a program to remove fish barriers under state highways.[^29] Its Chico Creek project replaced the barriers beneath SR 3 and its southbound ramps.[^30] Construction ran from September 2021 to November 2024.[^31] The project is complete.[^32]\n\nHere the numbers jump. The project built new SR 3 bridges over Chico Creek.[^33] It realigned the southbound on- and off-ramps.[^34] It built an elevated bridge on Chico Way NW.[^35] It rerouted Chico Creek beneath the highway.[^36] Funding was $56.8 million.[^8] A local guide marks the finish at November 2024.[^5] The Bainbridge Review puts the barrier removal's completion at the same month.[^37]\n\n## Three bills, one creek\n\nLay the three side by side. In 2014, one tribe replaced one culvert with a bridge.[^6] In 2020, the county replaced a triple box culvert with a 140-foot bridge for $2.5 million.[^19][^7] In 2024, the state replaced a 400-foot highway culvert with new bridges for $56.8 million.[^14][^33][^8]\n\nThe order matters as much as the size. The tribe's 2014 work came first.[^10] The tribe partnered on the county's bridge.[^18] And the tribe had named the SR 3 culvert as its target before the state built the bridges that removed it.[^14] One stream, three governments, in sequence.[^6][^17][^33]\n\n## What the fish are doing now\n\nThe run is under way. Chum and coho peak in Kitsap County in late November.[^38] Early return data for 2026 is mixed across stream systems.[^39] The fish still face poor water quality, barriers elsewhere and changing ocean conditions.[^40] But on Chico Creek, the barriers named in these three projects are gone.[^32][^5]\n\n## Where to stand\n\nThe creek is built for watching. Kitsap Salmon Tours ran on Saturday, Nov. 7.[^41] The tours always fall on the first Saturday of November.[^42] Washington State University's Kitsap Water Stewardship program hosted them from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.[^43] WSU Extension coordinated eight stream sites.[^44] Biologists taught visitors about the salmon life cycle.[^45] The event was free.[^46] Great Peninsula Conservancy listed its hours as 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.[^47] Several partner organizations hosted the stops.[^48] The conservancy took volunteer sign-ups for the day.[^49] The tours used eight stream sites across the county.[^50]\n\nGreat Peninsula Conservancy staffed two of the sites.[^51] One was the Chico Estuary.[^52] The other was the Clear Creek Ridgetop Pavilion, Silverdale's tour site.[^53][^54] The 2026 Salmon Docent Program trained its volunteers from Oct. 18 to Oct. 22.[^55]\n\nThe tour day is the start, not the end. All of the tour sites are open to the public year round.[^56] The peak comes in late November.[^38] The best weeks to stand at the Chico Estuary are still ahead.[^52]\n\n## For the island\n\nBainbridge has its own fish and its own limits. Island streams hold more coho than chum.[^57] Public places to watch salmon on the island are few.[^58] Chico Creek is the stream where the bridges have been built.[^33]\n\nIn 2014 the tribe broke ground on a single culvert.[^10] This November the creek it opened is running its second season under the state's new bridges.[^5] Go in late November and watch.[^38]",
