Annual Puyallup Watershed Salmon Homecoming Celebration

Save the Date for the annual celebration honoring the return of migrating salmon to spawn in creeks and streams throughout the Puyallup Watershed! This year's event will be held at DeCoursey Park in Puyallup, which is located next to Clarks Creek, a popular spawning stream that leads to the WDFW Puyallup Historic Hatchery, which will be under construction this year.

This is a free family-oriented event with lots of activities or kids and families. The event is scheduled to coincide with fall salmon migration, so if we're lucky we'll get to see some, and we'll have creek side talks and tours led by fish biologists. There will be environmentally-themed games and activities for all ages, food, and music.

This event is organized by the Puyallup River Watershed Council, Puyallup Historic Hatchery Foundation, and WRIA 10/12 Lead Entity.

The event is from 11am-3pm on Saturday, October 6, 2018.
