Fall in Bothell

Look for salmon, with a little planning.

Salmon return to King County rivers and creeks each fall. Check recent local reports before choosing a spot; a sighting is never guaranteed.

Start with the city's Salmon SEEson page

Bothell's official page links to regional viewing locations and the North Lake Washington Salmon Watchers blog for recent reports. Use those reports to plan a visit. This guide does not report live fish sightings.

Explore the riverside

Park at Bothell Landing is along the Sammamish River, with walking trails and a pedestrian bridge. It is a starting point for a riverside walk, not a confirmed salmon sighting location for today.

Keep to the paths

The former Wayne Golf Course has a designated salmon habitat area. Stay on its paths and keep dogs on-leash. Check the city's open-space rules and follow signs on the day of your visit.
