Issaquah has already greeted its first chinook of the season - a female who made an appearance the week of July 12, about a month-and-a-half early. When the salmon return, so do the visitors by the thousands, who come to see this remarkable species return from a grueling journey at sea to spawn in Issaquah Creek.
The Issaquah Salmon Hatchery is the most-visited hatchery in the state and relies on a committed team of docents (teaching volunteers) to provide tours to visitors who come to see magnificent salmon spawn in Issaquah Creek. FISH docents foster a sense of wonder about salmon for hatchery visitors.
