Nonprofit's mission to save salmon more relevant than ever
MUKILTEO — Every year before the holidays, Sound Salmon Solutions gets one big special delivery: 80,000 coho salmon eggs, courtesy of the state-run hatchery in Issaquah.
High school students eagerly await the arrival at the local nonprofit’s Willow Creek education center, where each egg is washed in iodine and placed in an incubation tray.
Five months later, once the juvenile salmon grow to fingerling size, they are released into streams in Bothell and Lynnwood.
The yearly process speaks to Sound Salmon Solutions’ core mission: supporting salmon recovery by encouraging people to make a personal connection with the rivers and streams that make up their local watershed.
