A community resource
Every fall the salmon return to Issaquah, and so, too, do thousands of young students and visitors, who come to see these magnificent fish return from their grueling journey at sea, to fight against the current and spawn in Issaquah Creek. The Issaquah hatchery is the most visited of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s hatcheries, with thousands of visitors every year. As the region grapples with change to the natural environment, FISH highlights the presence of salmon in Issaquah Creek to cultivate a sense of wonder about these remarkable fish. We strive to tell the story of salmon here in such a way that fosters a natural, life-long commitment to their wellbeing, with tours, educational programs, and summer camps! “FISH champions the annual miracle of salmon in our fragile environment.” — FISH Mission

Amazing fall foliage and wild salmons!!
I live in Issaquah and make sure to check it out at least once a year. The best time to go is in October heads down! The foliage and the surroundings are amazing. Salmons are going wild and you want go home without spotting several for sure. Has been my favorite place to visit I. The fall past 26 years. Lived in the area past 8 years and living every moment of it! Parking for free inside the area or across the street. Many great restaurants or breweries/ bars walking distance. ?
