Salmon Days 2017 | Photos | Issaquah Reporter

The Grande Parade was just the start of the Salmon Days fun.

Throughout Olde Town, vendors offered artwork, fresh produce and baked goods from around the Pacific Northwest.

Kids played to their hearts’ content in the Field of Fun behind City Hall, where the Puget Sound Dock Dogs also performed their tricks.

At Foods of the World next to the Issaquah Trolley Museum, 40 different kinds of fare from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America were devoured by hungry festival-goers.

At the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, residents and tourists gathered to observe the creatures of the hour, the migrating salmon themselves.
