A City News Now host said adult salmon are making their yearly migration from saltwater to local streams to spawn in the Sammamish River, Lake Sammamish and Redmond streams, which the broadcast said provide habitat for Chinook, Sockeye and coho salmon, as well as trout and Lake Sammamish kokanee.

"With luck, patience, and good timing, you may see them from trails and bridges throughout Redmond," the host said. The broadcast then invited residents to join the Green Redmond partnership to plant native trees and shrubs at locations across the city; the host said planting events will run throughout the fall and winter and directed listeners to the city calendar for sign-up details.

No regulatory actions or funding amounts were provided during the segment; the statements were presented as natural-history information and volunteer opportunities.
