This is the 21st year that the Solberg family will sponsor Salmon Release Day at their property along Swamp Creek in Alderwood Manor.

Willow Creek Hatchery (Deer Creek) brings a truckload of 30,000 Coho Salmon to be released into Lake Washington via swamp creek. 

Dress your children warmly,  everyone wearing boots!, and bring their little or big buckets to carry their little baby fish from the truck to the creek and release them. 

 

 There is parking on the large lawn at - 20905 17th Place West, Lynnwood, WA. 

Be there at 9:45, prepare to make a trip to the creek to get some water in your buckets, and then wait in a line to get your fish then carry them back to the creek. --several times.  

Have fun -- the whole event takes about an hour and a half.
