Saturday’s City of Edmonds-sponsored Watershed Fun Fair was a popular gathering place for families at the Willow Creek Salmon Hatchery.
Each visitor received a passport, billed as “your guide to getting to know your watershed.” Everyone who answered all the passport questions — easy to do by visiting the fun fair exhibits — received a potted native plant to take home.
Other activities included fish feeding, face painting and a tour of the Native Plant Garden. Organizer Jennifer Leach from the City of Edmonds said event attendance was on pace to exceed last year’s event.
