See wildlife on land - or under water
Three new wildlife-watching maps are now available from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, pinpointing prime viewing opportunities in three very different parts of the state. Two highlight attractions along key north/south highway corridors on both sides of the Cascades. The third is a diving guide to the underwater world of Puget Sound. Learn more >>
Be careful with fire on public recreation lands
As the Fourth of July weekend approaches with drier-than-normal conditions in some parts of Washington, state land managers ask those heading outdoors to be careful with fire.
Whether casting for trout, trolling for salmon or digging for clams, fishing is a great way to put fresh, local food on the dinner table. Washington waters offer fishing opportunities for more than a dozen fish and shellfish species, in communities across the state. Fishing is a way to slow down, get outdoors and create memories for your children or grandchildren.
Leave wild babies in the wild
It’s hard to resist “rescuing” a baby animal that ends up on your lawn, driveway, or porch, but most young animals brought to WDFW offices and licensed wildlife rehabilitators are not helpless or abandoned. Please leave wildlife in the wild.
