Fish for Salmon Days Fun with Issaquah 'Splash Mob'

Salmon Days is having a fun local contest with prizes up to $1,000 from participating Issaquah businesses.

It's almost time for thrills and gills at Issaquah's annual Salmon Days Festival, which runs Oct. 6-7, but there's plenty of time to get into the fishy spirit beforehand--and maybe score some great prizes from local businesses with the "Splash Mob" scavenger hunt game.

Fish around the Issaquah area looking for outrageously decorated Salmon in businesses and community institutions participating in Splash Mob. The fun continues through Oct. 7. The Splash Mob Game is a great family activity to play together whether it takes you one day or one week, you will explore the city, collect the different stamps, have fun and earn the chance to win great prizes!


Playing is really simple:

1. Go to www.splashmobgame.org and download a game card or
pick one up at any of the 24 participating businesses or swing by the Issaquah Visitor Information Center. It's that easy!

2. Visit each of the local merchants on the card and ask for a stamp on your game card

3. Turn the completed card in at The Issaquah Visitors Information Center – 155 NW Gilman Blvd

Completed game cards will be entered into a drawing to take place at Salmon Days.  Grand Prize winner gets $1,000 worth of Issaquah Gift Cards.

Kids are welcome to play! When the card is complete, come on down to the Salmon Days Festival and drop off your completed Splash!MOB game card. There is one winner per household.  You do not have to be present to win but you must submit your completed Splash!MOB game card of 24 stamps to be eligible for the Grand Prize. 

You can also drop off your game cards to the Visitor Information Center (155 NW Gilman Blvd, Issaquah) by Oct. 5th.

Grand Prize drawing will be held Sunday, Oct 7th at 5:00pm at the Rainier Blvd. Stage!

We too, love having our Farmers' Market return! Opening day was a bit weather-challenged. ThankRead More you merchants for enduring the wet and cold for our new extended hours! What a wonderful sight will return to the plaza when the sunshine calls back all the families with happy, giggling children. Market day is a date of dinner out (side) & shopping (vegetables, fruits and now HedgeHog Toffee) with my husband. Doesn't get much better than that! SEE YOUR THERE! Susan Gerend

Agreed Mark, Much as this solution seems crazy, some things are worth paying for (law and order, aRead More decent safety net, good schools and yes roads). I do blame the tax hawks though. Washington already has a relatively regressive tax structure. The "choke the government" solution seems carried way too far.

I thank the author for his well thought out arguments regarding these important transportationRead More issues in Washington state. While I believe some of the ideas presented are debatable, for example I believe that a vital and well used transit system ought to be part of our congestion relief plan in metropolitan areas, the lack of realistic funding options for this system cannot be ignored. However, our legislature (both parties included) seems to place a higher priority on "no new taxes" than creating a sustainable future for the state in many areas, including the transportation system. More than that, though, we live in a state whose citizens have varied interests and priorities. Most of all, we need our government to set priorities so that citizen interests and needs can be reasonably served. It seems we are pretending that we can base tax policies and tax rates exclusively on individual self-interest, as is often the consequence "no new taxes" scheme (e.g. if I don't get a direct benefit for myself, I won't support paying for it). This seems to me to be as much a part of this problem as current transportation system priorities.

It gets worse folks. I was part of a selected focus group a few weeks ago of people who live alongRead More I-405 conducted by a well-known marketing research firm and paid for by WSDOT. They are considering options that would charge commuters to use a new lane on I-405 & charge for the existing carpool lane too (even if you have two people in the car!)
