With all the focus lately on the Lake Wash. situation I'm curious if any of our other Puget Sound river systems supported a sockeye run in the past.

I know about the Skagit/Baker and B.C's Fraser, but what about the Snohomish system or the Stilly? Did these rivers ever host these prized fish? If there was such a thing as a sockeye run, what kind of numbers were there and what happened? Are they more vulnerable to man and the environment than other Pacific Salmon stocks?
