I1�Almost all of the watershed of South Puget Sound lies in private hands.
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.

A Brief History of Grapeview and the Plat of Detroit
Most of this history came from Grapeview the Detroit of the West by Mary Sagerson and Duane Robinson, Mason
County Historical Society, 1992.
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.

This unique wetlands affords
a wide range of habitat support. 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.
