Ongoing Council and Chapter Projects

Edmonds - Laebugten Salmon Chapter No. 101
We Raise about 125,000 Coho in our hatchery to be out-planted into local streams with the help of Edmonds area students, and maintain a net-pen at the Edmonds pier with 30,000 yearling Coho for imprinting and release.

Grays Harbor, Chapter No. 111
Working with the Columbia-Pacific Resource Conservation and Development District we developed an old gravel pit on the Chehalis River, into a truly amazing scenic escape for nature lovers with disabilities. who can catch salmon and sturgeon from a wheelchair. With two fishing shacks and piers along 1⁄2 mile of river access, 1.7 miles of level trail with a paved path that circles the32 acre lake, restrooms, showers and camping facilities and a boat launch, life is easy despite the secluded natural setting located on 152 acres of donated land. Called Friends Landing, it has some of the last of the state?s remaining old growth timber. Washington Watchable Wildlife has designated Friends Landing a natural wildlife scenic area. You can find Friends Landing 35 miles west of Olympia and 12 east of Aberdeen, Washington.

Whatcom County, Chapter No. 178
Our chapter built a pond in the early 1990's to encourage Advanced Natural Resources class from Mount Baker High School to feed fishes, to check weights, to test water quality, and to manage the hatchery with TU members from Whatcom County. Baker fisheries run the hatchery program. They raise the steelhead in hope that they will return to spawn.

Tacoma Chapter, No 146
The Chapter designed and built a portable fishing pond with grants from the council and the Muckleshoot Tribe to offer fishing experiences to children that may have never had an opportunity. We have had as many as 3000 children a year attend events sponsored by various organizations throughout Western Washington. We also work with the Washington Military District to protect Murray Creek, one of the last available spawning areas for American Lake Cutthroat.
