Welcome!

October 16th, 2024

at Little Creek Casino Resort near Shelton, WA

Welcome!

We had a successful symposium on Oct. 16th, 2024 at Little Creek Casino Resort near Shelton, WA.  It was jam packed with people and content.

We look forward to seeing you in fall of 2026.
The quality of S4 comes from gathering people together in person to discuss local science.



Thank you to the many scientists who contributed the images on the website!


In memory of Howard Leggett
