Welcome to the Friends of Issaquah Salmon Hatchery (FISH) donor site!!

“Protecting our salmon and ensuring their survival for future generations through education, advocacy and outreach” — FISH Mission

FISH is a non-profit organization that supports education programs, research, and operations at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery.  Dollars raised on this site help FISH’s efforts in support of Chinook, Coho and Kokanee salmon.

Every fall the salmon return to Issaquah, and so, too, do thousands of young students and visitors. They come in person to see these magnificent fish return from their grueling journey at sea, to fight against the current and spawn in their natal waters of the Issaquah Creek.

The Issaquah hatchery is the most visited of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s hatcheries, with thousands of visitors every year. As the region grapples with change to the natural environment, FISH highlights the presence of salmon in Issaquah Creek in order to cultivate a sense of wonder about these remarkable fish.  Through outreach events, science fairs, school presentations, onsite tours, and exhibits, visitors learn not only about the salmon but also the habitat, watershed and environment crucial to their survival.
