“At Long Live the Kings, we are guided by a bold proposition: Salmon are central.”
They’re at the heart of our region’s culture, history, and economy. Alongside towering evergreens, snow-capped peaks, and vast expanses of open water, salmon make the northwest The Northwest. Like those other majestic resources, salmon are a big part of what brought many of us to this mossy corner of the world; now we must work together to bring them home. I invite you to learn about our history, discover our current work, attend an event, and get the latest updates on our blog. Thank you for your support!
JACQUES WHITE | Executive Director
Long Live the Kings was founded in 1986 by a group of salmon enthusiasts alarmed by the decline of wild salmon.
Convinced of the long-term need for habitat protection and restoration, LLTK’s founders were intrigued by the potential for rebuilding and sustaining wild salmon populations in the near term. Could hatcheries, working in concert with habitat restoration, help restore wild salmon and support sustainable fisheries? Now in our 30th year, our work, and our impact, has grown beyond that early vision, and expanded throughout the Pacific Northwest and into Canada. OUR HISTORY >
Each year, LLTK hosts several annual and many special events. These events present a great opportunity to get involved with our work.
From our gala Spring Fling benefit dinner in Seattle, to open houses at our Lilliwaup and Glenwood Springs Field Stations, to a slate of topical events hosted in various locations throughout the year, there are ample opportunities to plug in, support, and get involved with our work. Visit our Events page to learn more, and follow us Facebook and Twitter for real-time event updates. EVENT CALENDAR >
Long Live the Kings thinks long-term about salmon and steelhead recovery.

But the success of our vision–Northwest rivers and streams teeming with healthy wild salmon, amidst a growing human population and a thriving economy–relies on your support.
