Celebrate 75th Anniversary of Leavenworth National Fisheries For 75 years Leavenworth National Fisheries Complex has produced salmon that are vital to the Pacific Northwest way of life. The public is invited to celebrate the facility’s history and engage in many salmon-centered activities at the 25th annual Wenatchee River Salmon Festival, held September 17-19 this year. Authorized in 1937 and built from 1939-1940 to mitigate for Columbia River dams, Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery (NFH) was the largest salmon hatchery in the world at the time it was built. Entiat and Winthrop National Fish Hatcheries opened in 1941 and 1942, creating a complex of hatcheries working together to produce future generations of fish for future generations of people.
