Japanese Gulch : ウィキペディア英語版 | Japanese Gulch Japanese Gulch, is a green space owned and managed by the City of Mukilteo, Washington. With its rich historical significance〔(Mukilteo: Japanese settlers played key role in town's history )〕 and intertwining trails it brings astonishing beauty to an increasingly urban area. Hikers, bicyclists, and nature lovers have enjoyed this treasure for over 30 years. ==History== In 1903, the Mukilteo Lumber Company (later, the Crown Lumber Company) was established and continued its operations until 1930. Many of its workers were Japanese immigrants who, with their families, lived in company housing in what became known as “Jap Gulch,” later changed to “Japan Gulch” and “Japanese Gulch.” Most of the Japanese workers moved away when the Crown Lumber Company closed. In late 2007 a development company bid on purchasing the property for developing an industrial park. This caused a small outcry from the community,〔(HeraldNet: Preservation will come at a price )〕 and inspired a movement to save the gulch from being developed.〔(SaveOurGulch Website )〕〔(JapaneseGulch.org )〕 In 2014, the City of Mukilteo completed a purchase for 98 acres of the property from the Metropolitan Creditors Trust of Coeur d'Alene for $5.4 million, preserving the park for the public.〔(HeraldNet: Sale to Mukilteo will preserve Japanese Gulch )〕
