Here ya go. From the weekend reporter..

While Puget Sound pink salmon typically return in odd years only, there is a growing stock of pink salmon returning to the Snohomish River in even years. "We have received numerous reports of pink salmon sport catches this summer," said WDFW Fish Program Manager Jim Ames. The stock has been growing significantly in recent years. In 1994, there was an escapement of 1,640 spawners; that number doubled to 3,734 in 1996. In 1998, the return nearly doubled again to 6,078 fish and, true to form, the 2000 return doubled to 12,900 fish. Ames said that judging by the number of pink salmon reported in sport catches from Elliott Bay north to the Everett area, it looks like the 2002 return might again be double the parent-year escapement. While they are off-limits to freshwater salmon anglers, pink salmon may be retained as part of the daily bag limit in saltwater fisheries.

So...If the numbers keep growing at about the same pace we can expect about 26,000 back this year???? So 2004... 50K??
