Fauntleroy Watershed 
 The Fauntleroy Creek watershed is located on the western slope of the West Seattle peninsula.  Roughly two thirds of the 98-acre watershed consists of well-established residential development.  The remainder is natural space preserved by the City of Seattle, primarily as Fauntleroy Park.  The creek transports runoff and spring water to Fauntleroy Cove in central Puget Sound.    		Watershed Council

About the Watershed Council
The Fauntleroy Watershed Council dates from July 2001, when a dozen watershed residents met to establish a venue for volunteers involved with Fauntleroy Creek, Fauntleroy Park, and other natural areas in the watershed; other interested residents; and partner agencies to work toward common goals.

Any interested resident of the watershed is welcome to participate and, by so doing, is maintained on the roster. The Council has ongoing representation from three agencies: Seattle Public Utilities, Seattle Parks and Recreation, and the State Department of Ecology.
