The Kokanee Salmon have returned to some of the rivers and streams in Redmond in the largest resurgence seen in over a decade.
The kokanee salmon have returned to some of the rivers and streams in Redmond in the largest resurgence seen in over a decade. Environment alists say the salmon rely on Lake Sammamish as an important part of their life-cycle. Now that they are returning to the nearby streams by the thousands, Redmond city officials say it’s a reason to celebrate. The kokanee salmon, pictured below in Ebright Stream, could be seen returning to the area to spawn on Friday.
King County officials say they migrate from streams as inch-long fry and spend three to four years in lakes. Then, they return to spawn in the streams where they were born. That's why local water quality is important. "I don’t think people realize how much their own lives in the city can impact what ends up in our environment," said Birney. The mayor says the city has also asked the community to do its part in protecting the water quality in the streams.
