1 Amazing Wildlife Adventures in Seattle Backcountry! Storyline is a publication from Snohomish County Tourism Bureau for the media. Feel free to use this content in your editorial or see previous issues online for additional content suggestions. Media Assets: (Dropbox Link) Wildlife Viewing in Snohomish County Snohomish County is the perfect base to discover the flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest. Snohomish County offers you the opportunity to see Gray whales, salmon spawning, or bird watching at Spencer Island, Edmonds Marsh and Jetty Island. See wildlife in its natural environment just minutes north of Seattle. With more than 350 species of birds that live or migrate through Snohomish County every year, birdwatchers get great views from a number of sites. From the Snohomish River Estuary, the largest known wetland on Puget Sound (and the only one within an urban area on the West Coast), to Osprey nests near Everett s Legion Park, and with 413-acre Spencer Island all binocular-clad eyes are in for a feast. For great year-round birding a perfect stop is the Edmonds Marsh. This can be combined with a ferry trip across Puget Sound where you are likely to see rafts of waterfowl, gulls, bald eagles and great blue herons. Several of Snohomish County s rivers are the sites of spawning salmon each spring and fall. Try Al Borlin Park south of Monroe, River Meadows Park and the South Fork Stilluguamish River in Arlington, Squire Creek County Park, four miles east of Darrington, Osprey Park in Sultan and the Lake Stevens
2 spawning channel, just north of Lake Stevens.

Learn how the Skykomish River Valley is protecting their salmon watersheds and this event is also a time of remembrance for Sultan s namesake, Chief T seul-ted, also known as Sultan John. The Return of The Salmon committee change the proclamation a little every year; this year they have added more information about Sultan s namesake Chief T seul-ted, and honored the memory of Jerry Carter. Jerry was a Public Utilities District engineer in Monroe,WA and in 1980 he conceived the idea of creating a sculpture of T seul-ted out of sawdust and epoxy resin. The project took Jerry a year and a half; every night after work he went home and worked on the statue in his back yard. Once completed, he donated the
4 statue to the City of Sultan, and it now stands in River Park and can be seen from Highway 2.

We have come to understand that our human lives are entwined with the lives of everything around us, and that in the health of the salmon we find the health of the landscape, and in the health of the landscape, we find the health of our own families and children. The Celebration reminds us to live sustainably, and to protect our salmon watersheds. by Craig Young, Return of the Salmon Celebration Committee What is on the horizon for salmon habitat restoration on the Skykomish and Sultan rivers? Ongoing partnerships with the Tulalip Sovereign Nation, The Public Utility District, and the City of Sultan have resulted in millions of dollars of salmon habitat restoration and improvement in the Sultan River. Side channels have been created for rearing, refuge and spawning in Osprey and Reese Parks, and many miles of upstream river spawning habitat have been opened up by the removal of barriers. More such projects have been planned for the future. PUD biologists will be at the Return of the Salmon Celebration to discuss the projects, and give riverside tours. proclaims Craig Young, Return of the Salmon Celebration Committee link to event: Link to Event Poster: 20Salmon%20Flyer%202017%20Proof.pdf?dl=0

7 Swifts Roosting in Monroe Each September thousands of migrating Vaux s Swifts roost in Monroe School District s Frank Wagner Elementary School chimney to rest while on their southern migration from north-western Canada and Washington State to Central America and Venezuela. These 4-5 long birds are the smallest and most numerous of the swift species in Washington State. They spend much of their time in the air and forage, eat, drink, court, collect nesting materials and mate all in flight. Vaux s Swifts prefer to roost in hollow old trees but frequently use brick chimneys as a substitute. Prior to entering the chimney, the swifts often gather in great numbers and circle the chimney. As they begin to enter the chimney, they change from their headfirst direction and go in tail first.
