From the Lake:
Have you wondered?
We have contacted WA department of Ecology about the circles of weeds we have in the lake and they have confirmed they are grass-leaved pondweed. These are native plants that provide good habitat, so the recommendation from Ecology is only controlling parts where they are interfering with recreation the most, and leaving the rest.
The response also informed us that the lake seems to be in good shape overall, so they would recommend not treating the plants aggressively. That can lead to increases in algae growth, which can be worse.

September 2020
September brings us the last big weekend of summer and this year the weather is perfect. It's a strange year, not being able to have all the big events and gatherings as in years past but it does make for some quality family time and hopefully, next year we can have a huge party.
Be safe and have a fun Labor Day weekend.
