Cedar River Salmon Stewards
Cedar River Salmon Stewards (CRSS) increases awareness and support for salmon recovery through education and outreach events that help build an informed and engaged community throughout the Cedar River/Lake Washington Watershed. We raise awareness about salmon habitat needs, coordinate messaging about salmon recovery and opportunities for engagement with collaborating agencies, build a diverse community of trained salmon stewards, and empower people to make positive environmental change.
Together, we've talked with 10,286 people about how special these salmon are and how we all play a part in a thriving watershed. The salmon counts through the Locks are something to celebrate. As of September 3rd, we've welcomed:
972 Coho
11,369 Chinook
31,302 Sockeye
Fall 2026 Viewing Schedule
The journey doesn't end at the Locks! Follow these remarkable salmon as they make their way home, and come meet us along the way! Visit us this October to learn more about these incredible fish, discover their redds (salmon nests), and explore how we can support watershed health.
