Celebrating Long Live the Kings this Earth Day!

April 22, 2025

Happy Earth Day from Ray’s!

As a Seattle restaurant rooted in the waters of the Puget Sound, we care deeply about the health of our local ecosystems. Today we’re celebrating some inspiring wins from our friends at Long Live the Kings and the positive impact they’re seeing in the world of recovery.

We’re proud to support local organizations like Long Live the Kings who protect the waters that feed us all. Here’s to healthy fish, clean water,  and a more sustainable future.

Check out a few of their incredible accomplishments from the past year!

🐟Kokanee Comeback in Lake Sammamish
Incredible news—6,800 Kokanee returned to spawn last fall; a 10-year high! Just a few years ago, these native fish were nearly gone. Thanks to LLTK’s work on Orcas Island, they’re making a major comeback. Cheers to that!

🌊Restoring the Nisqually Delta
LLTK and the Nisqually Indian Tribe helped shape new state bridge plans to go beyond “no net loss” and actually restore vital salmon habitat. That’s smart, sustainable infrastructure & a win for fish, water, and local communities.

💧Stormwater Innovation at Ohop Creek
Runoff from roads is deadly to coho salmon, but LLTK is testing a new compost-based filtration system (yes, compost!) with Cedar Grove that’s showing serious promise. Clean water = healthy salmon = a thriving Puget Sound.
