Holiday Trees for Salmon event at NW Stream Center Dec. 6-7

The Adopt A Stream Foundation is kicking off the season with its annual Holidays Trees for Salmon event from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday Dec. 6 and Sunday Dec. 7 at the Northwest Stream Center, 600-128th St. S.E., Everett.

Attendees can choose from live, potted 2- to 6-foot-high Sitka Spruce, Western Red Cedar, Western Hemlock, Shore Pine, Grand Fir and Douglas Fir trees, ranging in price from $20- $100. “After the holidays, plant your tree and you will help out the planet for hundreds of years,” Adopt A Stream Foundation Director Tom Murdoch said in a news release announcing the event. “Or bring your tree back to the Northwest Stream Center and Adopt A Stream Foundation’s Stream Team will plant your tree next to a salmon stream in the spring where it will help out salmon for hundreds of years. Both options will provide a great holiday memory.” 

There is also a Makers Bazaar on Saturday, Dec. 6 featuring crafts by local artisans. Or shop at the Nature Store, where proceeds benefit environmental education and salmon stream restoration.

If you can’t make it Dec. 6-7, the trees will be available for purchase Tuesdays-Saturdays through Dec. 23. Proceeds from Holiday Trees for Salmon sales benefit the Adopt A Stream Foundation’s environmental education and salmon stream restoration programs.

Those who purchases a Holiday Tree for Salmon will receive a 2026 Adopt A Stream Foundation membership as a holiday gift. Benefits include free entry to the Northwest Stream Center Nature Trail and use of the Natural Resource Library through 2026, discounts to 2026 Streamkeeper Academy events, and 10% discounts on purchases at the Northwest Stream Center Nature Store.
