Cedar River Salmon Journey

Join the Seattle Aquarium this summer to learn more about salmon! Trained naturalists will be on-site to help you spot spawning salmon and learn about the things we can all do to help them. Free and family friendly.

Each year, thousands of Pacific salmon return to our local watersheds to produce the next generation of fish. Salmon play a key role in our economy and are the cornerstone of our local ecosystem, which supports us all. These amazing creatures are also critical to the health and well-being of Coast Salish peoples, who stewarded these lands and waters for generations and continue to do so today.

Seattle Aquarium naturalists will be stationed at the Ballard Locks on select Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. See below for exact dates.

Please note: Schedule subject to change.
