Submit calendar events two weeks in advance of publication date to The Beacon through mail or online at mukilteobeacon. com. Select “Submit Event.” surveys were initiated at the request of the City of Mukilteo, and reported on salmon and other wildlife in Big and Japanese Gulches. The surveys show some limited numbers (typically 20-30) of coho and chum salmon wandered into both gulches, and evidence of pre-spawn mortality amongst female salmon.

It should be noted that in 2017, 1,057 salmon were observed in Big Gulch. Of these 912 were chum salmon.

Bottom line; if you have never walked it, the Big Gulch trails are magical, and a great way to clear your mind. The experience will transport you out of the everyday world. Gulch trails are easily accessed from the 92nd Street Park, the Mukilteo Library, or from the Mukilteo Speedway near the Staybridge Inn and 92nd Street Park.

Be prepared for stairs and steep grades, into and out of the Gulch. But it is worth it. After all, when trying to learn more about the world, nothing beats first-hand observations, and there is a lot to see in the Gulch.

Just stay back from the fish!
