Early generations of Edmonds residents used to enjoy healthy fish populations in our local creeks. We can boast several salmon spawning streams including Shell, Shellabarger, Perrinville, and Lund’s Gulch, all connecting Edmonds neighborhoods to Puget Sound.
Years of upland development without appropriate environmental mitigation has all but destroyed the runs in some creeks and badly impacted the runs in others. Join with us to restore these salmon runs to healthy, sustainable levels for future generations. You can be a part of rebuilding our rich natural heritage.

Important Allies
We are monitoring creek conditions and are associated with two important allies of EEC, Sound Salmon Solutions and the Edmonds Stream Team volunteers. Together, we are working to restore healthy salmon populations to our streams and marsh. This involves counting returning salmon, releasing hatchery fry, and working on habitat restoration, all with the goal of restoring salmon runs to our precious watershed.
We connect you with our watersheds for the future of salmon
It takes all of us to help salmon return to our watersheds. Through interactive education, hands-on stewardship, and state-of-the-art habitat restoration we nurture the relationships between people and our wild spaces to support salmon recovery.
Students Saving Salmon
Edmonds Stream Team is a community group supporting Students Saving Salmon, a Edmonds-Woodway High School club, and Meadowdale High Environmental club in monitoring local streams and Marsh and improving salmon habitat.
