Stream List, Volunteer Salmon Watcher Program

Salmon Watching 
Stream List

The table below is a general representation of the salmon species reported in Lake Washington Watershed rivers, streams, and tributaries by the program's volunteers from 1996 to 2015. Not all sightings were verified, and all sightings were made from program volunteers, whose fish identification skills varied from novice to professional. Additionally, this table does not indicate how frequently the streams were watched, so streams that were not watched often may not adequately portray fish presence.

For a refresher on fish species, see our fish identification gallery.
