The coho returns to Puget Sound rivers have been excellent.

Most of the hatcheries have surplused 1,000s of fish lead by the Marblemount hatchery on the Skagit. The hatch run was forecasted to be 21,000 fish. To date that hatchery has surplused 22,000 fish. Looking at the count of wild coho at Sunset Falls on the Skykomish it looks like the wild coho escapement is on track to potentially exceed 150,000 which would be the highest escapement since 2004.

While Puget Sound and Grays harbor coho may not exactly track at least in some areas of the state there were lots of coho.
