The Salmon Seeker’s Guide to Whatcom County

You can see salmon all over the PNW, from Seattle’s Pike Place Market to local artwork and murals, but unless you know where and when to look you may never see them out in the wild! So…where are they? 

In this lunch & learn session, we will showcase some publicly available online resources that you can use to better understand where and when you can see salmon in Whatcom County this fall. We will also cover the basics of how to identify the different species of Pacific salmon, a brief overview of the different watersheds near us, and how you can support the recovery of wild salmon for future generations. 

Pack your lunch and join us at NSEA's campus to get ready for salmon season. Can't make it in person? Join us online! Registration is required at www.n-sea.org/events

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
