Why is this Subarea Important to Salmon?

All species of salmon in the Lake Washington/ Cedar/ Sammamish watershed migrate through and rear in Lake Washington. Predation and competition by other species as well as degradation of shoreline conditions are among the primary factors contributing to salmon decline in this subarea.
