I got to take a field trip out to the Cedar River last week. This where a majority of Seattle’s water comes from.
The first picture shows some salmon hanging out, waiting to make their moves.
Next, is the masonry pool.
Which is damned by the Masonry Dam.
Which is fed by Chester Morse Lake.
They all flow down Upper Cedar Falls.
And are all surround by trees.

We also took a stop by the fish passage and got to see some chinook, coho, and steelhead hanging out waiting to go up the pescalator. Which was installed as a part of Seattle’s Habitat Conservation Plan. If you can hold on (or fast forward) to the last 20 secs, it’s a salmon party!
