Maybe the best catchall phrase I’ve seen for what defines the Pacific Northwest is: “Wherever the salmon can get to.”

Seattle writer Tim Egan came up with that. It captures the geography, the culture and the ecological uniqueness of our strange, still-a-little-wild corner of the continent. All in the reproductive odysseys of a fish.

I’m pretty sure he meant anywhere a salmon can swim to. What if they’re now making the trip by truck?

That’s what we’ve come to in Seattle, with the collapse of our signature sockeye run. An annual summer spectacle that once saw hundreds of thousands of silvery blue and green salmon surging into the teeth of the city, this year’s run is down to a desperate trickle.
