So, today we took a walk along the Cedar River in downtown Renton to see if the salmon run was underway. It's quite a sight, on years we get it right (the fish being unpredictable).
We've found a good spot last year, just down stream (north) of the Renton Library, which is right over the river. The viewing was even better this year. Whether the timing was right or this is just a better year for the fish I don't know. Maybe both.
I don't know how many fish there were --dozens and dozens--mostly grey with some golden, almost as bright as koi. A few were purple, which I suspect were either grey fish turning purple or contrarywise purple ones turning grey.
It helped that the day was beautiful, with sunbeams to shine right down to the river bottom (the Cedar being a fast, shallow little river).
All in all, a good outing. We'll see if we have such luck again next time.
