Raab’s Lagoon purchased by King County
Apr 26 2008, 2:27 AM King County has purchased two parcels at Raab’s Lagoon off the western shores of Maury Island, a move that county officials say will help to protect the once-abundant Olympia oyster and other native marine life.

The county, using funds from the so-called Maury Island Conservation Initiative, purchased 15.7 acres of mostly lagoon bottom from one landowner for $176,000 and another parcel of shoreline — a little less than one acre in size — for $148,500, said Gary Blanchard, senior real property agent for the county’s Department of Natural Resources and Parks. The deals closed last month.
