A major chum spawning stream in South Puget Sound is Kennedy Creek, and South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group (SPSSEG) has created an interpretive trail at the site where visitors can observe salmon spawning and gain appreciation for the biodiversity in the forest that is essential to the survival of salmon. We are working with SPSSEG to create a virtual tour of the Kennedy Creek site that shows a map of the trails and typical views of the forest at different locations.  There are a variety of lookouts to view the creek and forest as well interpretive signs that describe the local flora.  There are also locations next to the creek to view salmon during the spawning season.  See the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife webpage for best times to view salmon spawning activity and directions to the site.
