I'm not sure what this sentence is supposed to mean, but it needs editing: "Around 1900's the city began discharging sewage into Lake Washington". Around the early 1900s? Circa 1900? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Conservatif (talkcontribs) 05:49, 1 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please further discuss Lake Washington's salt content, including how the salt mixes with [its] freshwater, and how this content relates to, and interacts with the other connecting lakes. [--21:51, 18 September 2005 67.170.113.110]

"Washington State" is a proper noun. Wouldn't a reader recognize that Washington State and Seattle are in the U.S? ("USA" is redundant.)

The reported depth in the side panel is incorrect. I know it is much deeper, at least 800 feet, but don't have exact numbers to edit a change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.97.110.58 (talk) 20:18, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Where is "/" a formal grammatical character?
Recommendation by WP:MoS: Slashes:
Avoid joining two words by a slash, as it suggests that they are related, but does not say how. Spell it out to avoid ambiguities. Also, the construct and/or is awkward outside of legalese. Use "x or y, or both," to explicitly conjoin with the inclusive or, or "either x or y, but not both," to explicitly specify the exclusive or.--15:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps it would be useful to include some of the projects put in place that allowed for the diversion of sewage from Lake Washington, as well as the costs for these efforts. Here is a good link from King County that can help to summarize this quite nicely: http://www.kingcounty.gov/environment/water-and-land/lakes/lakes-of-king-county/lake-washington/lake-washington-story.aspx Farmek2 (talk) 08:25, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

There should be a section describing the plants and wildlife of the lake. --128.208.87.167 (talk) 17:18, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
