15-Year Status Report for the Snoqualmie & South Fork Skykomish Watersheds now available!
Progress towards salmon recovery in the Snoqualmie and South Fork Skykomish basins in the 15 years since the 2005 Snohomish Basin Salmon Conservation Plan was created has been steady. Funding opportunities have increased but habitat restoration remains under-funded, while fish numbers mostly declined or held steady. Find the details in this new report that highlights progress between 2016-2020.

Water Temperature Conditions in the Snohomish Basin: Final white paper now available!
We are pleased to announce the completion of a new white paper focusing on water temperature conditions in the Snohomish River Basin. This white paper is the first in a series of papers that will examine different water quality parameters in WRIA7 and how they impact salmon in our basin. Integrating water quality, including water temperature, into salmon recovery is an important component of updating the WRIA7 Salmon Recovery Plan.
