The City of Issaquah chose salmon as our mascot to further educate commuters about the connection between pollution caused by transportation choices and the impact those choices have on our environmental quality of life. Choosing a Salmon Friendly Trip reduces traffic, can save you money and creates a more sustainable environment for all of us!
