We

Our Volunteers

Salmon Days is possible thanks to the support from our 500+ volunteers. Salmon Days is Issaquah's festival but the majority of people that attend are from out of the area. Volunteering is a great way to help us put our best foot forward as a community and show outsiders what Issaquah is all about. We hope you'll consider donating a few hours and see the festival from the inside.
