	Lake Washington Story

	Rivers: Lake Washington Basin - Lake Washington Summary Hydrograph
		The Lake Washington Ship Canal is operated primarily as a navigation facility connecting Puget Sound and Lakes Union and Washington.
		The storage between 20 and 22 feet is used to augment Lake Washington Ship Canal inflows for use in operating the locks, the saltwater return system, the smolt passage flume, and the fish ladder facility.
		The level of Lake Washington was lowered about 8 feet by the construction of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, but it is still the second largest natural lake in the state, with a surface area of 22,138 acres and shoreline of about 91 miles at elevation 22 feet.

	Lake Washington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lake Washington is the second largest natural lake in Washington state, USA, behind Lake Chelan, and the largest lake in King County.
		It is situated between Seattle to the west, Bellevue to the east, Renton to the south, and Kenmore to the north, and surrounds Mercer Island.
		The canal to Puget Sound became the lake's sole outlet, causing the Black River to dry up and disappear, as a few years earlier, the Cedar River had been diverted to empty into Lake Washington instead of the Black.

	The Seattle Times: Local News: Industrial past takes toll on Lake Washington
		The news that Lake Washington's sparkling waters harbor fish laced with toxic chemicals may be shocking to many — but not to environmental regulators who know the area's industrial past.
		Washington's state inventory of toxic hot spots includes about 50 sites with known or suspected PCB contamination in the expansive watershed around the lake, said Larry Altose, of the state Department of Ecology.
		But the PCB discovery underscores the fact that despite its postcard appeal, Lake Washington was once home to timber mills, power plants and shipyards, and is still a sink for runoff from a major metropolitan area.

	Wrecks of Lake Washington
		The lake is approximately 20 miles long encompassing 71.5 miles of shoreline and 28 square miles of land.
		The lake was already mature when the eruption that produced Oregon’s Crater Lake left a telltale layer of ash on the bottom about 6,800 years ago.
		The lake bottom has a ‘W’ shaped profile, with steep sides plunging to a floor which gently rises in the center due to the movement of silt by seasonal convection currents.

		To monitor the milfoil weevil population at Mattoon Lake, two methods were used: a qualitative check for weevil damage on milfoil plants, and quantitative sampling at points throughout the lake.
		The lake was checked again using the same methods in early September of 2002 toward the end of the stocking period.

	Rescue of "Lake Stinko"
		The lake water appeared cloudier than George Anderson had remembered from the days when he was a graduate student studying the lake.
		Scientific investigation of Lake Washington had been attracting public attention in those days, especially with the release in 1955 of a Washington Pollution Control Commission bulletin, the first substantial report of the buildup of pollutants in the lake.
		In retrospect, Edmondson observes that his research on lake ecology was the foundation on which later lake clean-up efforts were built: "My work on Lake Washington was designed as basic research aimed at increasing our understanding of the control of productivity and community structure in lakes, just because we want to know about those things.

		Prior to the 1930s, Lake Washington was famous for its large populations of kokanee (the freshwater form of the sockeye), but sea-run sockeye salmon were thought to be absent.
		The first documented adult returns to Lake Washington were in 1940 when 9,099 sockeye were counted at the Washington Department of Fisheries hatchery on Issaquah Creek.
		Recent genetic studies of northern Lake Washington tributary sockeye and beach spawning sockeye have revealed that these groups of sockeye is also related to the introduced Baker stock, suggesting that all current sockeye populations in the system are derived from the introduced fish.

		Today, state and tribal salmon managers are planning a telephone conference to assess the ongoing count of sockeye entering the lake through the Ballard locks in Seattle.

		Last year, the sockeye run was estimated as high as 520,000, but later was dropped to about 475,000 when salmon managers determined the run was among the earliest ever in Lake Washington.
