The dam is essential for keeping the hatchery flowing with water, and Jane Kuechle, director of Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, couldn’t be happier to see it go.

It’s being replaced by a $4 million system of weirs, low dams with pools that will make it easier for the salmon to move upstream. Not only .... http://www.issaquahreporter.com/news/168788776.html
