SEQUIM — The Rotary Club of Sequim’s 42nd annual Salmon Bake is at Carrie Blake Park, at North Blake Ave., off East Washington Street in Sequim, from noon to 4 p.m. today.
Tickets — $15, with children younger than 10 free — can be bought at the site.
The event raises thousands of dollars for youth programs and student scholarships.
About 1,200 pounds of Alaska wild salmon was ordered for this year’s event.
The fish will be slow-cooked in alder-wood smoke in native fashion — an open 50-foot-long pit of vermilion coals.
Denny Secord and the Haywire Band will perform from noon to 4 p.m., and there are vendor booths with a variety of wares.
The salmon dinner includes cole slaw, baked beans, rolls, a drink and ice cream for dessert.
For those who don’t prefer salmon, barbecued pulled pork from Jeremiah’s will be served.
Shuttle service — from parking lots south of Carrie Blake Park at the Trinity United Methodist Church next door — is available for those who prefer not to walk the block-long distance.
