The vision for
Rainier Beach Urban Farm and Wetlands (RBUFW) is to be a vibrant community hub
and model green infrastructure project transforming a surplus Parks Department
facility into an innovative organic urban farm and demonstration wetlands
restoration site. This 10-acre site has the potential to produce over 20,000
pounds of fresh healthy food annually for families struggling with food
security, provide educational opportunities for at-risk and underserved youth,
offer access to and education for a rare in-city natural wetlands environment,
improve wetlands habitat for native wildlife, foster much-needed economic
development and strengthen community in a predominately low-income neighborhood
within one of the most diverse zip codes in the nation.
