Local Actions and Projects

Because salmon use different parts of the Lake Washington/Cedar/Sammamish Watershed during various stages of their life cycle, we divided the our watershed into 14 subareas where salmon have specific habitat needs.

Partners

There are many private citizens, non-profit groups, businesses, state agencies, tribes, and federal agencies working to protect and restore salmon habitat in this watershed. You can learn more about these partners by clicking on the subareas map.

In addition, the 28 local governments of the watershed play a key role in salmon habitat recovery due to their responsibilities for land use planning, transportation, parks, and stormwater management. In addition, all the local governments contribute funding to support watershed salmon habitat recovery. This funding supports both a small staff and projects and programs.
