If there's any way you can go to this event to benefit the Wild Steelhead Coalition, I highly suggest you check it out.
I have this little stat tracker on my blog and if your IP address comes from the 206, consider yourself on notice that if you dont go, I will find you and play every crappy Creed song that was ever created until you go. It wont be pretty.
So in other words....get thee to this wonderful showcase, you wont be disappointed. Read on for more information.

SEATTLE – Anglers know it as the “fish of a thousand casts." Washingtonians know it as their state fish, symbolizing the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. And through November 15th, the steelhead will be celebrated in an exhibit at the University of Washington’s Burke Museum to raise awareness and support for this iconic, and threatened, fish.
Titled “The Magnificent Steelhead,” the display will culminate with a reception and art sale on November 8, with all
proceeds benefiting the Wild Steelhead Coalition, an organization dedicated to
increasing the return of wild steelhead to the rivers and streams of the
Pacific Northwest.
Works in the Burke exhibit include
photographs printed on canvas, as well as mixed media pieces from individuals in
the angling community, including Andy Anderson, Jeff Bright, Keith Douglas,
Brian Huskey, Brian O’Keefe, Jonathan Marquardt, Dave McCoy, Ken Moorish, Tim
Pask, Steve Perih, Mike Savlen, and Bob White.
Visitors can also learn more about
steelhead, as well as conservation efforts being taken by the Wild Steelhead
Coalition to support the species through hatchery reform, scientific research and
policy changes on behalf of wild fish.
The event runs from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. and
includes hors d’oeuvres from the Steelhead Diner and beverages from Precept
Wine.
