An opportunity to take a glimpse into our history!

 The Angle Lake blog has been around for over 15 years! We recently switched from our legacy file storage to Google Drive, and that means that:

The Good - We downloaded all of our old files into a single folder that is now available for you, care to check our 2011 Fall newsletter? How about 2016 4th July flyer? Feel free to click here for all of our historical files! 

The Bad - If you browse our blog for older content, the links to those files will no longer work.

The Ugly - Steve Buscemi 

Happy holidays!

A Unique Opportunity for our Community this Saturday

William Westlake Walker, a special guest at the Angle Lake RV park, will be celebrating his 80th birthday with us this  Saturday, September 20th at 5:00 PM. Mr. Walker is known for his remarkable discovery of two Aboriginal canoes in Angle Lake during 1989 and 1990. After working closely with local tribes and authorities, he was granted permission to personally excavate the canoes, which were later carbon-dated to the 1600s. He and his wife—who is also here with him—played a key role in the discovery, recovery, and restoration of these significant historical artifacts.

Mr. Walker has generously offered to share the story of his discovery and the history of Angle Lake with any of us who are interested. This special talk will take place on Saturday, September 20th at 5:00 PM.

Bring a chair and come ready to listen and learn—it promises to be a fascinating conversation!

They'll be gathering at the RV Park dock at 5pm, Saturday. Come by boat or car.

Anyone interested can park in the lot before the gate (highlighted in yellow). Pedestrian gate code c1976.

We will be at the beach (red x) at 5 pm!

Angle Lake is Open for Swimming Again

Celebrate with a jump in the lake as it is now OK to swim at Angle Lake Beach. However the water is so low, be sure to check the depth before you plunge in. The ALSC will inquire of the King County Natural Resources and Parks as to what can be done to replenish the lake to prevent another year of this low water level. We wonder if the low level is one of the reasons the bacteria count is up. We will also inquire whether drawing water from the lake to water lawns may be having an adverse affect on the water level. Stay tuned for answers. 

For more information please visit https://lnks.gd/2/33r2Hv9. To see a chart of the bacteria counts last week versus this week go to this link https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/dnrp/nature-recreation/parks-recreation/king-county-parks/water-recreation/swimming-beach-bacteria-temperature 

Scroll to the bottom of the page that opens in the above link. Scroll past the map to the chart. It shows that the Bacteria Sample A came in at 7400 on Sept 8th and now, September 16th, it has returned to 6. A shocking difference. 

The water level at Angle Lake Beach is low!

ANGLE LAKE CLOSED DUE TO HIGH BACTERIA COUNT

Until the water is re-tested you are advised to stay out of the water at Angle Lake. They usually test it weekly. I received the closure reoprt Tuesday Sept 9th. You can find out about the status by following the links below.

This is the link to find the current status of lake water health.  https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/dnrp/nature-recreation/parks-recreation/king-county-parks/water-recreation/swimming-beach-bacteria-temperature

There are signs at the Angle Lake Park but for those who do not visit the park, you can to receive lake water quality reports by email or texts about which local beaches are closed. Sign up here: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/WAKING/signup/40264

I am ordering a test kit so I can test different areas of the lake to determine if the quality is only dangerous near the park.  

This year the lake was closed once before. I have not seen lake closures before in my 20 years here. Some discussion has arisen as to the possibility that the low level of the lake may be contributing to this. We plan to discuss at the next ALSC & ALM meetings whether asking people to stop watering their lawns by drawing water from the lake would make a difference. Your thoughts?
