I wish all of you a happy and fulfilling Thanksgiving. The weather forecast is for lots of sun, so I hope all of you have an opportunity to go out and enjoy a park this holiday weekend. Just add a few layers to stay warm!

Salmon Viewing at Carkeek Park
Coho and chum salmon are running in Piper’s Creek in November and December. If you’ve ever been interested in learning more about salmon in Seattle’s urban creeks this is a great opportunity.
Trained guides will be available in the lower meadow at Carkeek Park 11 am – 2 pm every Saturday and Sunday from November 7th until December 6th. The guides will facilitate salmon viewing and provide information on how to help perpetuate these urban salmon runs.
This is a chance to see and learn more about nature in one of our city’s neatest parks. There is no need to sign up, just drop in any time during the listed hours and look for one of the salmon stewards in blue vests.
