Final Salmon Release of the 2019 Imprinting Season: Saturday, May 11 at 8:00 PM

Join us at the Carkeek Park Imprint Pond on Saturday, May 11 at 8:00 PM for our final salmon release of Spring 2019.  Thousands of fish will be released into Venema Creek which joins Pipers Pipers Creek and then drains to Puget Sound.  Tip: since the release is at dusk (not dark), bring a flashlight to help see the fish in the creek.

Salmon will continue to be fed 3 times per day, 7 days per week until then.  Please come by with family and friends to learn a bit, tell stories, and help feed the fish.  Salmon Imprint Stewards are at the park in the mornings, mid-days, and evenings to feed and engage park visitors.  Stop by when you see the  Help Feed Salmon sign at the trail head up to the Imprint Pond.
