Quilcene National Fish Hatchery's salmon programs are managed in partnership with five local tribes (the Skokomish, Jamestown S'Klallam, Port Gamble S'Klallam, Lower Elwha Klallam, the Suquamish, and Point No Point Treaty Council Tribes) and the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife. Located on Washington’s Hood Canal, the hatchery releases or transfers more than 1.1 million fish and eggs each year to support tribal, sport, and commercial angling. A trail from the hatchery allows anglers fishing access to the Big Quilcene River.
Getting there
Quilcene National Fish Hatchery lies in a narrow valley on the east side of Washington's Olympic Peninsula, just off Highway 101, two miles south of Quilcene, at the confluence of the Big Quilcene River and Penny Creek.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 0.1 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
