Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery (FISH) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to retaining and improving the historic Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and promoting watershed stewardship through education.  This will be FISH’s 11th year offering day camps that teach about salmon, habitat and watershed  stewardship.  

We seek qualified undergraduate and graduate tutors to serve as peer tutors – to collaborate with UW students, staff, and faculty on their myriad writing and research projects.  Last year, tutors in the OWRC worked with writers from more than 100 departments on campus, representing all colleges – so when we say we are working hard to build an interdisciplinary staff for next year, we really mean it.
