Outreach & Education

Hosted annually by the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery (FISH), Salmon on Sunset is a family-friendly event at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and showcases live music, whacky rubber duck races, kids' street shows, a beverage garden, feed the trout, arts creation station, spawning shed community art project, partner booths, food trucks & fly-casting demos. This popular event has several thousand attendees. WDFW staff and volunteers will be tabling during the event and will showcase fish and wildlife education, respond to public inquiry, and encourage participation in a 5-minute salmon viewing survey. WDFW will be conducting our third annual Salmon Viewing Survey at select locations to learn more about salmon viewers. As part of this project, volunteers may be asked to be stationed at a prize wheel or circulate around the facility to share more about the survey with visitors during the event. Event website: https://www.visitissaquahwa.com/event/salmon-on-sunset/ 4-6 volunteers are needed for this event. Shifts are available. Multiple shifts may be selected. No experience necessary!
