Consider the Green/Duwamish if the Puy isn't open. Also the Snohomish offers some good fishing too.

The pink runs are so strong that I would be money it will be open. Rather crowded place to fish for them, but lots of fun.2 years ago the Puy was closed for all sport harvest don't bank on anything related to salmon or halibut for that matter.

Pinks only because the limit is typically more plus the possibility of silvers. We miss fishing the rivers. There are many other options. The Puyallup offers ease of access.
While everyone else is fishing with something pink for pinks, switch over to a corky and yarn "not pink" or a small spoon (Kastmaster etc...) and you can be in Silvers.

In the puyallup? The visibility is so bad I can't see a spoon working?

I've fished this river for years, and 2015 was probably the best Pink run I've ever seen, with limits in under an hour - after selective retention of bright hens only. My son and I filled out our first salmon punch cards before Sept 1 that year. It was also the hottest year on record at the time, and water temps wreaked havoc on the run, with most fish killed off before they spawned.
Fast forward to 2017, a year we had been waiting on for 22 months, and it was a complete bust. By Sept 1, my son had put both Coho and Chinook jacks on his card, zero Pinks. I had not one fish on mine.
By the time we called it for the season in mid Sept - I had caught one beyond prime Pink, and my boy had only another jack or two and no Pinks.
These are 2 year fish, so whatever returns this year will have been from the 2017 spawn, and the number of returning fish were dismal at best.
I am in hopes of this run returning to its healthy state soon, it is a fun fishery when fish are in the river.

I switched to silvers, and picked up 18, fishing the same holes.

I think he meant that pinks run on odd number years so there would not have been a pink run in 2014?
I thought he meant 'than' instead of 'then' when he was talking about IQ

Hey guys, silly question but what do you mean by “north of falcon”?
NOF meetings is how our Coastwide seasons are set. It refers to a dividing line. Not sure where falcon actually is? Oregon or California I think.

Cape Falcon, Oregon- about 1/2 way between Columbia and Tillamook
