Range of Salmon in the PNW
In the PNW, salmon range from the coast of Alaska to its southern limit of San Francisco Bay, California. Several species migrate as far inland as far as Montana and Idaho.

However, as far as this range seems to encompass, according to a 1996 report by the National Research
Council (U.S.) Committee on Protection
and Management of PNW Anadromous Salmonids, over the past century salmon
have disappeared from over 40% of their historical range in California,
Washington, Oregon and Idaho*.
Salmon hatcheries and sea
cages are across the globe as well.
