Geography The geography of the Central Sub Area 2 is primarily built on a high plateau that affords view of the Puget Sound to the west and the Cascade Mountain Range to the east. Lower elevations can be impacted by lowland flooding and tidal influence along the Snohomish River at Lowell. Sub Area 2 includes 535 acres of critical areas mostly represented by major drainage ways that include Pigeon Creek No 1 that passes through Forest Park and Pigeon Creek No 2 that drains through Harborview Park. Pigeon Creek No 2 follows a ravine all the way to Hannabrook Park to the south. Glenwood Creek passes through a heavily wooded ravine next to Harborview Park. This ravine extends almost to Boeing to the south. Bigelow Creek drains off of the east slope of this area and passes through Lowell before entering the Snohomish River.
