With the Endangered Species Act listing of chinook salmon and bull trout, salmon recovery is of regional importance. King County Executive Ron Sims initiated the camera project to help raise awareness about the condition of our salmon runs and what King County is doing to protect and recover salmon.

The Salmon Cam was a great success, with over 7,200 visits in just the first two weeks! This response, and the high participation in events like the Cedar River Salmon Journey, shows the interest and concern King County residents have for our salmon runs. We'd like to hear your comments and suggestions about the Salmon Cam - how many times you visited, whether you saw salmon, and whether you'd like to see this site offered again in the future.

This website is made possible by a partnership with SecureEye, a local high-tech company, and the private landowners of the site where the camera is mounted.

The Wild Salmon Camera project is brought to you by: King County (Executive's Office, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Transportation, Department of Finance, Department of Information and Administrative Services, and Prosecuting Attorney's Office); SecureEye, Verizon, and the private landowners of the camera site.
