The Chinook (king) salmon have arrived at the Locks and are passing through the fish ladder into Lake Washington. The peak of the run is usually the last two weeks of August depending on Ocean conditions. Coho (silver) salmon continue to pass through the fish ladder until the end of November but the peak of this run occurs the last two weeks of September. Call 206-783-7059 for more information.
