May Valley
Renton, WA

May Creek originates from several headwater streams near Cougar Mountain and flows west, into Lake Washington, near Renton, WA.  The May Creek basin can be separated roughly into two halves - the upper "valley" section and the lower "canyon" section.

The upper, less dense, agriculturally developed section is also known as "May Valley". May Creek flows through a straightened, formerly dredged channel at the center of the valley.

May Creek then drops down into a steep, narrow, wooded canyon.  This section of May Creek lays within the Urban Growth Boundary and is characterized by dense urban-residential development.

The basin encompasses roughly 8,960 acres and includes 26 miles of mapped streams, two small lakes and over 400 acres of wetlands.

May Creek provides important habitat for Chinook, Coho and Sockeye salmon, and Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout.
