The 2025 Salmon Homecoming Celebration was a huge success thanks to all of our partner organizations that hosted booths and helped educate our community about the importance of salmon in our watershed. We saw pink salmon spawning in Clarks Creek, made salmon arts and crafts, fed the hatchery trout, and ate delicious tacos! Thank you for a great turnout!

Did you know you can help our salmon and protect our waters simply by scooping up your dog’s p**p and disposing it in the trash? Dog p**p left on land will leach excess nitrogen and bacteria into nearby waters when it rains. This type of pollution is bad for fish and humans alike. Let’s take care of our beautiful streams, rivers, lakes, and Puget Sound.
