Discover what kinds of wildlife live, and migrate through Seattle’s largest protected watershed.

When: Friday December 27, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm

All-day presentations and activities:

  • Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Karelian Bear Dogs: Meet the dogs who keep wild animals in the wild!

The Cedar River Watershed Education Center is just east of North Bend (32 miles from downtown Seattle).

Directions: From I-90 going east, take Exit 32 (436th Avenue SE). Turn right at the end of the off-ramp. Follow the road (436th Avenue SE/Cedar Falls Road SE) for about 3.5 miles. The Cedar River Watershed Education Center will be on the right, just past Rattlesnake Lake.
