Long Live the Kings is a conservation organization focused on restoring wild salmon and steelhead populations in the Pacific Northwest and promoting sustainable fishing practices. Based in Seattle, Washington, the group combines field work, scientific research, and collaborative partnerships to provide decision-makers with tools and knowledge that support salmon recovery while considering the needs of local communities and fisheries. The organization serves audiences involved in regional conservation and policy, including Tribes, nonprofit partners, and public stakeholders, addressing salmon declines through guidance and shared resources. Founded in 1986, LLTK operates within the conservation programs sector and pursues a vision of growing human communities and economies alongside robust salmon runs. Notable recent developments include partnerships with Cedar Grove to pilot a mobile biofiltration system for stormwater management and collaborations with the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission and Salmon Defense to emphasize tribal rights and leadership in salmon stewardship.
