Outreach & Education

Salmon Days is the largest two-day festival in the state and celebrates the thousands of salmon returning to the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery. Salmon Days is an annual family-friendly event in downtown Issaquah and showcases live music, food trucks, arts and crafts vendors, feed the trout, partner booths, and salmon viewing. 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.salmondays.org/ 8-12 volunteers are needed for this event. Shifts are available. Multiple shifts may be selected. No experience necessary! Contact WDFW's Outreach Coordinator, Zaara Kidwai (zaara.kidwai@dfw.wa.gov) for any questions.
