Rarely is any of this property reserved for the explicit use as a set-aside for wildlife habitat. In Grapeview, Mason County, Washington exists an uncommon watershed which lies between homes along Case Inlet. This watershed is blessed with tidal waters which drain the upland wetlands. This whitepaper is presented to familiarize the reader with the ongoing ef- fort to save this precious wildlife constituency. It is the intent of the owners of the property to donate this land to the people of Mason County. To facilitate this movement, the owners have cho- sen the MASON CONSERVATION DISTRICT as the means to move forward in transfer of title and developing covenants, conditions and restrictions. It is intended that the parcel be known as the GRAPEVIEW WILDLIFE PRE- SERVE. It is also intended that some small area within the boundaries be dedicated to the parents of the owners. 0 - "'ERS ' IP j W-1ji'mi'l I The above stated lands are owned by Robert A. Pastore.

The first settler in our area was Lambert Evans in 1872. He was a veteran of the Confederate Army from Florida and was 36 years of age when he settled on Stretch Island. He purchased 40 acres of the island for $2.50 per acre. Later he filed homestead papers on the northern 172 acres. He planted grapevines from cuttings he obtained during his long travel to the area. Fruit trees were also planted and he sold his crops by rowing to Olympia and Steilacoom. For 11 years he remained the only settler for miles and later in life became known as the "first citizen" of the community. Members of early sailing expeditions of Puget Sound named much of our area. The first was Capt. George Vancouver and his Second Lieutenant Peter Puget who explored Puget Sound in May 1792. Almost 50 years later in May 1841 Admiral Wilkes expedition named Stretch Island for Samuel Stretch,a gunner's mate with the expedition. Using his wit he then named the smaller island to the north Reach Island. Reach Island had been known as Oak Island prior to this. Jo- seph Pickard was the first to homestead Reach Island in 1885. He left in 1890 and the island was not inhabited until 1905 when Alfred W. Zizz bought Reach Island for $1,000. Alfred and his wife Natella raised two children; Virginia and Zane. Alfred remained on the island until 1952 when it was sold to a development group and it was renamed Treasure Island. On the mainland the Malaney brothers; Tom, Albert and John arrived in 1885. They claimed tracks of land and later with bankers Ladd and Tilton formed the Detroit Land Improvement Com- pany and acquired even more tracts of land. Their vision of Detroit was a large city. Several acres opposite Reach Island were platted into lots. They were successful for about a year with a sawmill, two saloons and a new hotel. The dream faded when investors left along with John and Albert Maloney. Tom stayed on to become our first postmaster. Charles (Bill) Somers bought 10 acres of the original site in the 1950's. You can see the sign today on the Grapeview Loop Road "Detroit Townsite". Others were settling around the Detroit Townsite. Charlie Anderson settled on the south end of Stretch Island in 1883. Charlie Gould came in 1886 purchasing 40 acres of the island's northwest section from Lambert Evans. He persuaded his friend, Adam Eckert, to also come in 1889. Adam Eckert also purchased 40 acres from Lambert Evans. His wife Sarah and five children under the age of 14 soon followed . The Eckert family was prominent in our community for the next 100 years. Their home became a center for community activities. In 1891 the closest schools were in Allyn and Vaughn. Sarah Eckert's two older boys rowed across the bay to Vaughn for school. In 1893 our community organized School District #23. The first students were the Eckert and Malaney children. This created the first political entity of our community with Lambert Evans, Laura Maloney and Lou Pauschert on the School Board. Walter Eckert, who was tired of his mail being sent to Detroit Michigan, convinced the community their beautiful rural community needed a better name. Grapeview was the choice. It was ap- proved by the Postal Service in April 1922. ITJ' AJ1111 I � _l t , Vj .

TIDAL WATER The property is drained by a SOURCE stream which trades water with Puget Sound during the two high tides a day. This tidal flow is now enhanced by a 2006 improvement to CASE INLET Grapeview Loop Road which PUGET SOUND resulted in two 18 inch culverts being replaced by a single 11 foo culvert.`_ This greatly increases the oppor- tunity for fish migration. ,;'_ The culvert—shown at right during the installation process— was filed half way with drain rock. The stream draws off water . from the associated wetlands and is enhanced by a beaver dam which has formed at small lake just upstream from the culvert. The wetlands are shown on the aerial picture on the next page. The present prop- erty owners are in the preliminary stages to acquire at Wetlands Delineation which meets Federal, State and Mason County guidelines. LEGEND: PROPERTY BOUNDARY APPROXIMATE STREAM LOCATION GRAPEVIEW LOOP ROAD The property consists of seven blocks in the Plat of Detroit 2.
