Book a Hatchery Summer Tour

Take a guided tour of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery led by Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery (FISH) volunteers and staff. Learn about salmon conservation, fish operations, and watershed stewardship while visiting hatchery features such as the aquarium exhibit, raceways, and fish ladder. Juvenile salmon are viewable year-round, adult fish may be seen from late August to mid-November.  

 

Tours are approximately 50 minutes and suitable for all ages. They are primarily outdoors and take place rain or shine. The hatchery grounds are wheelchair accessible and tours are held at a gentle walking pace on flat or slightly sloped paved and gravel surfaces.
