Bellevue's Salmon Watcher team monitors local streams for salmon returning in the fall. Volunteers visit a site for 15 minutes twice a week September through December, reporting when, where and what type of salmon are sighted. This information supports professional salmon monitoring and recovery efforts.

Salmon Watchers attend a two-hour workshop in September, to learn:

About salmon in Puget Sound
How to identify spawning salmon
How salmon use Bellevue’s streams
Salmon Watcher Training Slideshow

Registration for the training is appreciated! Tell the Stream Team you will attend at streamteam@bellevuewa.gov or 425-452-5200.
