Come to Pinehurst Station opening this Wednesday & tell us what you want to see at Jackson Park! We can absolutely do better than a fenced off golf course that cuts off access to TWO light rail stations. (If you can't make it, you can always take our online survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...)
Poster of preferred "Jackson" Park uses that you will be able to add dot stickers to vote on!

Possible uses include picnic area, playground, bball court, vball court, trails, spray park, sports field, dog park, skate park, pool, outdoor stage, public restroom, and blank spaces for you to fill out!

SPD budget is ~$600 million per year. Proposed to go up by $68m. SPU’s purchase of the 18-acre Talaris site in Laurelhurst where we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore salmon habitat & build publicly-owned housing was $64m. We can buy 10 Talarises per year with the police budget.

The Cedar River provides about 70% of the total inflow of water into Lake Washington. It helps keep the lake clean, the floating bridges/light rail afloat, & the Ballard Locks operating. In short, Cedar River is doing the most. Come experience its majesty and power and SALMON with us on Oct 11th!

70% of Seattle's water comes from the protected Cedar River Municipal Watershed. Rain falls onto this protected forested land and gets filtered before going into the Cedar River and being diverted to Seattle taps - resulting in some of the cleanest, most delicious water tap water in the country!

We need dense and affordable housing around parks. We need parks with restored habitat, trees, shade rather than sprawling lawns or golf greens. We need parks with cafes, food carts, fruit/veggie stands, public bathrooms. This is how we make a great city for people and wildlife.

Ahead of Salmon Days Issaquah Mayor Mark Mullet is signing a proclamation changing the name of the city to Fishaquah for the weekend. @ecocityaction.org @socklessinseattle.bsky.social
WHEREAS, salmon have long held a special place in the heart of our community; and
WHEREAS, salmon are such a part of our heritage that they adorn the logo of our city; and
WHEREAS, each fall the salmon return to our creeks and lakes; the first salmon have arrived
this year at the downtown hatchery; and
WHEREAS, salmon have supported countless generations of Indigenous peoples and
residents; and
WHEREAS, their lure has driven schools of visitors to our town to learn more about our
beloved salmon; and
WHEREAS, the popularity of salmon has created an identity for Issaquah which in turn has
tilted the scales of commerce in our favor; and
WHEREAS, this year’s theme, “Stars, Stripes & Salmon” centers on celebrating our
community and our traditions that bring us together, while also recognizing our
nation’s 250th anniversary; and
WHEREAS, Salmon Days has its own infamous mascot, Sammy the Salmon, who is rising to
the Oh!Fishal Oh!casion by welcoming visitors to join us for the festival’s 57th
year on Saturday, October 3rd and Sunday, October 4th.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mark Mullet, Mayor of the City of Issaquah, do hereby declare in honor of
the Issaquah Salmon Days Festival, during the first full weekend of October our salmon friendly city
shall be known as
FISHAQUAH
