The Ravenna Creek is a stream in the districts of Ravenna and Roosevelt in Seattle in the US state of Washington , whose above-ground length (m 1,100) lies completely in the parks Ravenna and Cowen of about 3,500 ft.
The Ravenna Creek was used to the outflow of Green Lake in the Union Bay of Lake Washington to allow, but the urban development and the lowering of the lake level of both lakes (1911 and 1916) led to a disappearance riverbed between the Green Lake and the Cowen Park and between Ravenna Park and Union Bay. Today's source of Ravenna Creek is a wetland in the northwest of Cowen Park at NE 62 nd Street and Brooklyn Avenue NE . He is also fed by sources in Ravenna Park and flows there along with a second body of water that near the intersection of NE 65 th Street / 23 rd Avenue NE rises. Until 2006, the stream ended at a sewage separation system , where the park's network of paths opens up into a football field.
A renaturation project to expose the cased creek was completed in May 2006, which separated the creek from the sewage separation system and extended its bed by 650 ft (approx. 200 m) to the southeast end of Ravenna Park, where it flows into a pipeline. This pipeline, the South at the 25 th Avenue NE to the viaduct at the NE 45 th Street leads, pours into the Union Bay Natural Area and thus connects the Ravenna Creek Lake Washington.
In 2008, over 30,000 cubic meters (8,000,000 gal ) of sewage flooded the creek in an accident caused by nearby King County Utility Department work .
