IAC grant funding would support acquisition and permanent protection of 1,000 feet of high-quality Puget Sound shoreline and water access to a 25 acre site intended for use as a passive-use park in Federal Way. Purchase of Camp Kilworth and inclusion in the City parks and open space system will remove development pressures on this property and thereby preserve: § 1,000 feet of Puget Sound shoreline that is habitat for threatened Chinook salmon, as well as other fish and wildlife, § Water access to Camp Kilworth from Dumas Bay, in Puget Sound § High quality forest with little development and excellent views of Puget Sound East Passage and Maury Island, and § Passive recreational amenities for children and adults, contributing to per capita open space goals in the city. Camp Kilworth has been a Boy Scout camp for 70 years, introducing thousands of boys and girls to the natural world. Its northern boundary is adjacent to Puget Sound. The site is largely forested and undeveloped except for an unpaved access road and parking area, several outdoor recreation use and camping areas, and several camp buildings of varying size and condition. In 2005, a developer made an offer on the property. In response to strong public desire to retain the values of the camp, the City of Federal Way entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Boy Scouts of America that allows the City to purchase the property for $3 million and provides the City three years to acquire funds for purchase.
