Salmon have long been central to the culture and daily life of people in our region. Every fall the Chinook salmon make their way upstream, returning to spawn in the Sandy River. For the past 25 years, local residents have gathered on the banks of the Sandy at Metro's Oxbow Regional Park to welcome these Northwest icons home.
