Kelly Kiyohara
Fish and Wildlife Biologist

Kelly’s love for field biology began in college at Seattle Pacific University’s Blakely Island Field Station where Kelly took numerous classes and spent many hours “playing” for college credit. She was able to continue “playing” for work in various field-related positions from monitoring Puget Sound Commercial Salmon Fisheries and enforcing catch reporting policies for WDFW to operating juvenile salmon traps and PIT tagging for ODFW.  Since 2005 she has been a part of the Wild Salmon Production and Evaluation unit where she has been able to continue to pursue her love of field biology while supervising three juvenile salmon traps in the Lake Washington basin in greater Seattle area. Kelly hopes to continue to expand her knowledge of salmon life history diversity and ecology.
