Fauntleroy Creek salmon: Time to watch, and drum, for them

WSB contributing photojournalist Christopher Boffoli recently photographed salmon in the Cedar River for that video essay. Here in West Seattle, the watch is about to begin along Fauntleroy Creek – and Judy Pickens tells us they’re still recruiting volunteers to take turns watching for the returning spawners. Whether or not you decide to sign up, you are invited to come join an annual tradition this Sunday – drumming at the Fauntleroy Creek overlook to help call the salmon home. Be there, 5 pm Sunday (upper Fauntleroy Way at Director; here’s a map; here’s our coverage from last year). Creek Watch begins the next day and runs for about a month; for questions or to get on the list, contact Judy at 938-4203 or judy_pickens@msn.com.
