Statement of Work Interpretive Experience Concept Plan

At Jim Creek Recreation Area July 17, 2025

For Additional Information: contact Karen Ceballos, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,

(503) 869 3251.

Overview of Project: The project is to develop an interpretive experience concept plan for the Navy’s Jim Creek Recreation Area. This contract will help develop interpretive facilities, signage, programming and key themes used by the recreation program based on ideas and interpretive topics already discussed. Additionally, remaining funds will be used to produce the design files for several interpretive panels.

Overview of Site:

Naval Radio Station (Transmitter) Jim Creek is located in rural Snohomish County, Washington, in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains. The installation is approximately 60 miles northeast of Seattle, and 12 miles (by road) east of the City of Arlington. The installation encompasses approximately 4,800 acres of largely undeveloped, forested area, as well as approximately 7 miles of Jim Creek, a tributary of the South Fork Stillaguamish River. Two significant tributaries to Jim Creek are also within the installation: Cub Creek (including the Twin Lakes basin) and Hatchery Creek, which has a substantial run of coho salmon. Additionally, NRS(T) Jim Creek is within the Usual and Accustomed (U&A) grounds and stations of the Stillaguamish Tribe.

While the primary purpose of NRS(T) Jim Creek is to operate a high-powered transmitting station for naval communications, only 980 acres is used for the operational area. Much of the remainder of the installation is operated by Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) as the Jim Creek Recreation Area, open to military members, veterans, civilian employees, and their families. MWR manages campgrounds, cabins, a lodge, picnic areas, playgrounds, trails for hiking and mountain biking (nearly 12 miles total), and other amenities. MWR provides recreational programs including fishing, boat rentals, bike rentals, other gear rentals, and special events.

From the early 1990s to the present, recreational use on the installation has increased from a few thousand to as many as 40,000 visitors annually. Visitor use fluctuates seasonally and is highest during the summer and on weekends and holidays. There can be 200-700 people on site daily in summer and fewer than five people daily during the winter (November to February). From ten to seventeen MWR employees work on the installation, with seasonal staff coming onboard from March to September.

• Jim Creek is part of the greater Stillaguamish River watershed

• Jim Creek and Hatchery Creek provide spawning habitat for salmon

• Through a joint restoration effort between the Stillaguamish Tribe and the Navy, a native run of coho salmon was recovered, which is why the creek is called Hatchery Creek even though the fish rearing facility is now gone

• In the Fall, between November and January, you can see hundreds of salmon spawning in Hatchery Creek and Jim Creek

• Ten native fish species use Jim Creek (rainbow trout/steelhead, pink, coho, and chum salmon, torrent sculpin [Cottus rhotheus], longnose dace [Rhinichthys cataractae], coastal cutthroat trout [Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii], western brook lamprey [Lampetra richardsoni], Salish sucker [Catostomus catostomus], and bull trout)
