(One of the more than 60 people who gathered last year to call Fauntleroy Creek’s salmon home)
It’s a West Seattle tradition – gathering to drum, chant, and sing to call coho spawners to Fauntleroy Creek. Judy Pickens just sent word that this year’s event is set for 5 pm Sunday, October 24th, with the singing and drumming to be led by Bron Edwards-Cryer and Kevin Finney, at the fish-ladder viewpoint (SW Director and upper Fauntleroy Way SW, across and up the embankment from the ferry dock – here’s a map). Judy adds, “Old Man Rattlesnake will be a special guest! Bring a drum of any kind, or just yourself.” All ages welcome. (Find out more about Fauntleroy Creek here.)
