sbəq̓ʷaʔ Park and Shoreline Habitat

sbəq̓ʷaʔ (sbaqwah) Diagonal Ave Park and Shoreline Habitat, formerly known as Terminal 108 Park or Diagonal Park, is located along the Duwamish River in Seattle, Washington. The park's name sbəq̓ʷaʔ means "Great Blue Heron" in the language of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe.

This riverfront park offers one of the best expansive views of the Duwamish River, where visitors can observe passing barges, great blue herons, and occasionally seals when the tides are right. The park is situated just a few hundred feet from State Route 99, making it easily accessible.

sbəq̓ʷaʔ Park is notable as one of approximately 12 habitat mitigation areas along the Lower Duwamish Waterway shoreline. It serves as an excellent small boat launch site on the Lower Duwamish Waterway. The park's location in a small indentation at the end of Diagonal Way provides protection for launching small watercraft.

The park underwent development in three phases between 1986 and 1994. These improvements included the creation of inter-tidal fish and wildlife habitat, installation of native vegetation, construction of a shoreline pathway, and the addition of various amenities for public use. Since 1994, 310 linear feet of shoreline has been improved to stabilize the riverbank with marsh, native trees, and shrubs, as well as anchored large wood to provide both erosion control and wildlife habitat.

sbəq̓ʷaʔ Park is open from dawn to dusk and offers a perfect spot for watching tugboat activities or enjoying a picnic lunch.
