Visitor Center Juvenile Salmon

 


Salmon smolt tank at Visitor Center



The Visitor Center has a new display for viewing until sometime in May. It is a tank of salmon smolt which will be kept in the tank until they reach a size where they can be released into Lake Washington, eventually to make their way into Puget Sound and parts unknown for the following few years. Here's a good chance to see them and wish them Bon Voyage before they head off.
