Lake Sammamish Subarea
Why is this Subarea Important to Salmon?
Lake Sammamish serves as a migration route for juvenile salmon traveling to the ocean and adult salmon returning to their spawning grounds. Chinook, sockeye, coho and kokanee salmon use Lake Sammamish. Predation, degradation of shoreline habitat and poor water quality are a number of the factors that are contributing to salmon habitat decline in the subarea and its tributaries.
