We saw the first salmon of the season returning to Piper’s Creek on Friday, 10/22. We performed a survey on Saturday and found six Chum (mostly males), one Coho and one salmon we were unable to positively ID as it was in a deep, murky pool. CWCAP volunteers will be performing surveys every Tuesday and […]

We spotted Chum in Piper’s Creek in the last two days. There were three in the culvert under the railroad tracks today, 10/29 and one more about 1350 feet up stream. We also found three dead, partly eaten chum yesterday, 10/28. These sightings are in addition to the two coho spotted on 10/15 and the sea-run cutthroat trout

We have 22,400 fry in the main imprint pond and 3,200 “Salmon in the Schools Seattle” (SISS) fry in the small pond. And we are operating as usual, relatively. Volunteers are feeding the fry three times a day, morning, midday and later afternoon to evening, seven days a week. We do not set exact times

On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, 11/24 from 11am until 2pm, all ages are invited to Carkeek Park for activities to welcome the salmon home. Celebrate with food (donuts, coffee, cider, and mandarin oranges), music, an appearance by Bert the Salmon, Salmon Jeopardy, a kid-friendly salmon scavenger hunt through the park, a salmon dissection and other
