Únete a Whale Scout y a tu comunidad en la mes de la herencia hispana en un recorrido en el antiguo Wayne campo de golf
Join us for a stroll through the former Wayne Golf Course in Bothell on August 7th from 12pm – 1pm!
The walking tour is designed to educate and teach on the work Whale Scout is doing at the park, why it’s important for the health of our local salmon and orcas, and its impact on the environment!
The walk will be an hour long, walking the duration of the park which is about 0.9 miles long. We will be stopping along the way to talk which means that we will be providing seating throughout the park.

Endangered Southern Resident killer whales depend on salmon as a critical prey resource from watersheds in Puget Sound and beyond. Salmon use the Sammamish River as a migratory corridor. Improving the water quality in the river will help both struggling salmon populations and orcas. Join us to care for new native plantings at the former Wayne Golf Course. Vegetation will help shade and cool and clean a small stream emptying into the Sammamish River. Healthy riparian forests control erosion of river banks and host insects young salmon need early in life. The former Wayne Golf Course features nearly a mile of shoreline and is the largest City of Bothell park. Activities will take place on the west side or “front nine.”
Consider signing up your household for a fun, educational, family outing. Those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, under 18 need a signed release form by a parent. Meet at the clubhouse parking area (16721 96th Ave NE, Bothell, WA 98011). Please sign up. A confirmation email will be sent to you 2-3 days prior to the event.
