January 31st Planting Event

Sign up!

Join us for a habitat restoration event!

Endangered Southern Resident killer whales depend on salmon as a critical prey resource from watersheds in Puget Sound and beyond. Salmon use the Sammamish River as a migratory corridor. Improving the water quality in the river will help both struggling salmon populations and orcas. Join us to care for new native plantings at the former Wayne Golf Course. Vegetation will help shade and cool and clean a small stream emptying into the Sammamish River. Healthy riparian forests control erosion of riverbanks and host insects’ young salmon need early in life. The former Wayne Golf Course features nearly a mile of shoreline and is the largest City of Bothell Park. Activities will take place on the west side or “front nine.” 

Consider signing up your household for a fun, educational, family outing. Those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, under 18 need a signed release form by a parent. Meet at the clubhouse parking area (16721 96th Ave NE, Bothell, WA 98011). Please sign up. A confirmation email will be sent to you 2-3 days prior to the event.

Date: Jan. 31st

Time: 10am – 1pm

Holiday Silent Auction is Open!

Shop here!

Whale Scout’s annual Holiday Silent Auction is officially live—and this year’s is extra special. More than 40 unique items, all generously donated by local artists, are available for bidding. Your participation directly supports our mission and helps us reach our goal of raising $8,000 for a new work truck used in vital salmon habitat restoration projects.

What You’ll Find in the Auction

Local creators have contributed an incredible variety of handmade and one-of-a-kind items, including:

  • 🎨 Art prints
  • 🧶 Crochet pieces
  • 💍 Jewelry
  • 🎄 Holiday ornaments
  • …and much more!

Every item is donated, meaning 100% of your bid goes toward conservation work.

Why a New Work Truck Matters

Our staff and volunteers rely on a sturdy truck to move blackberry debris, haul native plants across work sites, and spread mulch that nourishes salmon-supporting ecosystems. A dependable vehicle keeps restoration moving forward—and your bids help make it possible.

Bid, Share, Support

Take home beautiful local art while funding on-the-ground conservation efforts. Share the auction with friends, family, and anyone who loves nature, local artists, or mission-driven giving.
