The Indian Creek Stormwater Treatment Facility; Integrating art and
function This project was constructed as a result of a unique
collaboration between the Squaxin Island Tribe, the Nisqually
Tribe, the City of Olympia, the Olympia Arts commission and the
Washington State Department of Transportation.
The primary goal of this facility was to clean stormwater runoff
from Interstate 5, but this project also integrated public art into
the functional aspects of stormwater treatment, native
plant-centered landscaped areas, and slope stabilization along a
tranquil walking trail set in the midst of an urban
environment.
Many plants are edible, or have medicinal or basket weaving uses
in traditional Indian cultures.
2002, WSDOT gave it an Award of Excellence: Best Special
Project
2003, it recieved Judge's Honorable Mention for Environmental
Excellence by the US Dept of Transportation, FHWA.
