Round Lake (Clark County, Washington)

Round Lake is a small lake in Camas, Washington, U.S. The lake is connected at its north-west tip to Lacamas Lake and is accessed from Lacamas Park. The park includes a trail that goes entirely around Round Lake, and across the approximately 75-foot (23 m) dam that controls the level of Lacamas Lake and Round Lake. The lake has rainbow trout, brown trout, bluegill and smallmouth bass. History Lacamas Creek was first dammed in 1883 for a paper mill—the first to be constructed in Washington Territory. It was replaced by a pair of concrete dams at the southwest end of Round Lake that raised the water level by 12 feet (3.7 m); a diversion tunnel was also constructed to supply the mill with more water. The lake and its surrounding area remained under the control of the mill, which was acquired by Crown Zellerbach in 1925. The company donated 298 acres (121 ha) around Lacamas Lake and Round Lake to the Clark County government in 1963 for the creation of a new park, later named Lacamas Park. The two lakes were stocked with various species of fish, but they were unable to survive the oxygen-depleted environment created by the high levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and fecal coliform bacteria that had been produced by nearby dairies and septic tanks. The county government began studying the deteriorating water quality of Lacamas Lake and Round Lake in the 1980s, but were unable to solve the pollution issues at the time. Water quality A 43,000-acre (170 km2) watershed forms the Lacamas Creek, which flows into both Lacamas Lake and Round Lake. This water contains a higher than normal amount of pollutants which are rapidly diminishing the water quality of both lakes. References External links Information on government monitoring of the lake
Virgin Lake

Der Virgin Lake ist ein kleiner See mit mäßig klarem Wasser im Snohomish County im US-Bundesstaat Washington. Er liegt an der Grenze der Henry M. Jackson Wilderness am Blanca Lake Trail. Der Seespiegel befindet sich 1.395 m über dem Meeresspiegel. Wegen der Höhenlage und des feuchten Klimas im Pazifischen Nordwesten ist der Virgin Lake normalerweise nur 4 … 8 Wochen im Jahr im Juli und August zugänglich. Fauna Im See finden sich eine Reihe von Fischarten wie Muskellunge, Hecht, Glasaugenbarsch, mehrere andere Barsch-Arten sowie sogenannte Panfish (eigentlich ist eine ganze Reihe von Fischarten gemeint, die in eine Pfanne passen, aber noch gefangen werden dürfen).

Refuge faunique national de Ridgefield

Le refuge faunique national de Ridgefield est une réserve naturelle, l'un des refuges fauniques nationaux exploités par le United States Fish and Wildlife Service, situé dans la partie la plus à l'ouest du comté de Clark, dans l'État de Washington. Le refuge protège plus de 5 200 acres (2 100 ha) de marais, de prairies, et de forêts. Le refuge a été créé en 1965 (ainsi que trois autres refuges dans la vallée Willamette de l'Oregon) pour répondre à la nécessité d'établir un habitat d'hivernage vital pour les ansériformes, en mettant l'accent sur la bernache du Canada dont les aires de nidification en Alaska ont été durement touchées par le violent tremblement de terre de 1964. Le RFN de Ridgefield fait partie du complexe du refuge faunique national de Ridgefield, qui siège à Ridgefield et supervise la gestion de quatre refuges dans la partie sud-ouest de l'État : Ridgefield, et trois refuges dans les gorges du Columbia ; le lac Franz (en), Pierce (en), et le lac Steigerwald (en). Unités et activités du refuge L'objectif de gestion pour les unités de Carty, d'un sentier pédestre autoguidé de 2 milles (3 km), Roth and Ridgeport Dairy, est de préserver la plaine inondable naturelle du Columbia. La River 'S', le sentier de randonnée pédestre saisonnier de 4,2 milles (7 km) et le sentier pédestre de 1,2 mille (2 km), ainsi que les unités de l'île Bachelor (en) sont gérés de façon à maximiser l'habitat pour la sauvagine et les autres espèces sauvages des terres humides. Faune Des grues du Canada, des oiseaux de rivage et des oiseaux chanteurs très variés s'arrêtent au refuge pendant les migrations printanières et automnales. Certaines espèces d'oiseaux comme le canard colvert, le grand héron, et la buse à queue rousse vivent toute l'année et nichent dans le refuge. Le cerf à queue noire (en) et le puma sont les plus gros mammifères du refuge. Des espèces de mammifères plus petites comme le coyote, le raton laveur, la mouffette, le porc-épic, le lynx roux, le castor, le vison, la loutre de rivière et le lapin de Backman sont parfois observés.

Waughop Lake

Waughop Lake is a lake less than 1.6 km (1.0 mi) east of Steilacoom in Pierce County, Washington, United States. The lake lies within Fort Steilacoom Park, in the city of Lakewood, Washington. Waughop Lake has a surface area of approximately 33 acres (130,000 m2) and a mean depth of 7 feet (2.1 m). The lake is fed by groundwater and has no surface drainage channels. The lake is named after Dr. John Wesley Waughop, former superintendent of the Washington State Hospital for the Insane. The hospital, now known as Western State Hospital, lies across from the park on Steilacoom Boulevard SW. Remnants of part of the hospital are incorporated into the trail. The lake is circled by a 9/10-mile paved loop trail. Waughop Lake is refilled with trout that, unless caught, die within a few weeks. One of the primary researchers of this lake, Michele La Fontaine, has done studies on the algae and dissolved oxygen content. The depth fluctuates about 2 feet a year, gaining 2 feet in winter and losing 2 feet due to evaporation. Life Waughop Lake is home to many animals and plants, including mallards, deer, Canada geese, raccoons, robins, squirrels, and other small birds. Algae Algae in Waughop Lake has affected the lake for a long time. The algae are fed by nitrogen, supplied by the duck droppings and sediment, which the lake has plenty of. There are serious algae blooms, and it is not advisable to come into contact with the water. During algae blooms, the lake may be closed or restricted to visitors. For some of the year, fishing is restricted due to the algae problem. The bulk of the algae is green cyanobacteria, a phylum or waterborne photosynthesizing prokaryotes.

Riverfront Park Carousel

The Riverfront Park Carousel, also known as the Looff Carrousel and the Natatorium Carousel, is a carousel in Spokane, Washington built in 1909 by Charles I. D. Looff as a gift for Looff's daughter Emma Vogel and her husband Louis Vogel, who owned Natatorium Park in Spokane. It remained at Natatorium Park until 1968 when the park closed. The carousel was then relocated to its present location at Riverfront Park in 1975 where it continues to operate. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 19, 1977. The Looff still contains its original 1900 Ruth & Sohn band organ, which plays 87 key B.A.B. rolls, although due to deteriorating player rolls, a digitized recording is played during the carousel's operation. The organ was manufactured in Waldkirch, Germany and imported by Looff around 1900. The carousel contains 54 horses, one giraffe, one tiger, one goat and two chariots, all hand carved by Looff himself. It also has a ring dispenser, which allows the outside riders to grab a ring during each pass and then toss the ring at a clown with a hole in his mouth. If the rider is successful in capturing the brass ring, they can turn it in to win a free ride on the carousel. Current Location Since 1975, the carousel has been located on the south bank of the Spokane River in Riverfront Park. The park was constructed for the Expo '74, and certain structures remained in the park after the fair closed. The building that hosted a German beer garden for the fair became the new home of the carousel in the summer of 1975. 2018 Reopening As a part of a bond passed in 2014 to revitalize Riverfront Park, a new building was designed to house the carousel. The new building was designed with more space to queue and host events, and large windows to improve views of the Spokane River from the inside and views of the carousel from the outside. The new space opened in 2018. COVID-19 During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Carrousel and other building amenities were closed for nearly a year. The pandemic forced a closure of the attraction on March 17, 2020, but the ride resumed operations on March 1, 2021. During the pandemic, a new ride was added when the local toy and sporting goods store founded in 1946, the White Elephant, decided to close its doors and its beloved white elephant ride that adorned the front entrance for decades was gifted to the city in July 2020. The elephant, known as Isidore, was formerly featured in Natatorium Park alongside the carousel and was reunited with the carousel animals in the Looff building. In popular culture The TV sitcom Frasier makes reference to the carousel, calling it simply "the Looff", in the season 9 episode "Frasier has Spokane".

Dr. Jose Rizal Park

Dr. Jose Rizal Park is a 9.6 acre (39,000 m2) park on the west slope of Beacon Hill in Seattle, Washington, United States. The land, condemned by the city in 1917 for engineering purposes, was acquired by the Parks Department in 1971, and the park was dedicated eight years later. The park is named after José Rizal, the de facto national hero of the Philippines. Rizal Park is bounded on the west by Interstate 5, on the north by Interstate 90, on the east by 12th Avenue S., and on the south by S. Judkins Street and the Jungle. The park consists of a grassy upper area with shelter and picnic tables, a wooded hillside, and an off-leash dog park at the foot of the hill. History The land that would become Rizal Park was condemned by the city in 1917 for engineering purposes during the regrading of Dearborn and Jackson streets but was left undeveloped for several decades. The property was acquired in 1971 by the Parks Department, who built a small viewpoint and parking area. In 1973, the Filipino Alumni Association petitioned the city to honor the Filipino nationalist José Rizal; the park was renamed to Dr. Jose Rizal Park the following year. Funds to develop the park's facilities were granted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1978 and work began with a groundbreaking on June 16, 1979. The city government dedicated Rizal Park on June 7, 1981, with opening ceremonies led by mayor Charles Royer as part of Seattle's "Philippine Week". The 8.4-acre (3.4 ha) park was designed by Elaine Day LaTourelle with a picnic shelter, an amphitheater, play areas, and a public restroom. A mural by Val Laigo depicted the cultural diversity of the Philippines and the country's relationship with the United States. The expansion cost $343,500 to construct. Seattle Times design critic Norman Johnston described the park's fixtures and materials as "economical, unpretentious and substantial supports" and praised its simple design on a complicated site.

ГЕС Рок-Айленд

ГЕС Рок-Айленд — гідроелектростанція у штаті Вашингтон (Сполучені Штати Америки). Знаходячись між ГЕС Роккі-Річ (вище за течією) та ГЕС Ванапум, входить до складу каскаду на річці Колумбія, що починається в Канаді та має устя на узбережжі Тихого океану на межі штатів Вашингтон та Орегон. Річку перекрили бетонною греблею довжиною 1097 метрів, яка утримує витягнуте по долині Колумбії на 32 км водосховище з площею поверхні 13,4 км2 та об'ємом 130 млн м3 (корисний об'єм 15,4 млн м3, що забезпечується коливанням рівня між позначками 185,6 та 186,8 метра НРМ). У 1933-му станцію ввели в експлуатацію з чотирма турбінами потужністю по 15 МВт (наразі три з них модернізовані до показника у 20,7 МВт), до яких в 1951—1953 роках додали ще шість потужністю по 22,5 МВт. А в 1979-му запустили в роботу другий машинний зал із вісьмома турбінами потужністю по 51,3 МВт. Крім того, існує допоміжний агрегат з показником 1,2 МВт. Турбіни першого залу відносяться до пропелерного типу, тоді як у другому встановлені бульбові. Вони використовують різницю висот між верхнім та нижнім б'єфом у 12 метрів та виробляють 2,6 млрд кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Примітки
