Explore their website for information on how to visit. Some months, the plant holds open houses that allow community members to explore. In October, the plant’s artist-in-residence Xochitl Clare is presenting a work of interactive theater called Ghosts of the Hatchery, “a dark eco-comedy about salmon, science, climate change, and haunted institutional memory.” Tickets are FREE, but pre-registration is required.
