A letter by King County Water and Land Resources Division biologist Brent Lackey

The letter

This letter states that Brookside Creek was not included in the survey that Dr. Washington cites as finding no coho salmon there. It further states: "This stream was not passed over because of any assessment regarding the likelihood of fish presence, indeed it was assumed that this stream would probably host the same species likely to be found in the mainstream of McAleer Creek" (which is a known salmon habitat, including Chinook).
