Background:
Dead Horse Canyon, which is located in Lakeridge Park, is home to Taylor Creek, Seattle's fourth largest creek. Many wild animals live in Dead Horse Canyon, including osprey, pileated woodpeckers, opossum and coyotes. In the late 1880s, the Taylor family built a sawmill where the creek meets Lake Washington. After the mill closed, the canyon was used as a trash dump. Then in 1996 neighbors formed a non-profit organization dedicated to cleaning up and restoring the area. The canyon is now a beautiful and peaceful forested area.
