Come back, Salmon! 

Celebrating the return of salmon to our local rivers and streams
as they complete their journey
is an important tradition for the native tribes of the 
Pacific Northwest. 
They have relied on salmon as a very important source 
of food since long before white settlers came 
to this part of North America. 


Watch this entertaining video and discover 
more about the salmon lifecycle! 

And then go see our local spawning salmon for yourself!
