Each year, salmon battle the odds to return home — now it’s your turn. Join the Seattle ARTCC as we host “the Seattle Salmon Run”, a high-traffic Friday Night Ops event at KSEA. From coast-to-coast and beyond, pilots are invited to make their final approach through the Emerald City, navigating the same skies that once guided indigenous peoples and fishers tracking the legendary salmon runs.
Expect full staffing, scenic arrivals over Puget Sound, and busy airspace flowing like a mighty river. Whether you’re flying a regional Dash-8 or a heavy from the East Coast, reel in your flight and ride the current into Sea-Tac!
