Totem Pole carved by John Dewey Wallace

Untitled

[edit]

I took this picture of the totem pole at the Montlake Cut but cannot determine what park it is in. There are signs that say park closes at such a time but do not give a name for the park. There are also signs nearby that say Lake Washington Ship Canal Waterside Trail. A plaque at the bottom of the totem pole states that the totem pole was carved in 1937 by John Dewey Wallace a Haida Chief in Waterfall, Alaska. I suppose I could put the picture with the Haida article.

If it's where I think it is that's East Montlake Park.

The width of the Montlake Cut seems to be overstated. I travel through it regularly and it appears far less than 350 feet wide. A quick measurement using Google Earth suggests that it is approximately 150 feet wide for most of its length. NOAA Chart 18447 lists the horizontal clearance of the Montlake Bridge as 146 feet. That's the most official number I can find, so perhaps that's what we should use in this article.

Black River

[edit]

The history section is totally wrong about the drainage basin prior to the Cut. The Black River flows out of the south end of Lake Washington, and would sometimes reverse course during heavy rains, flowing water from the Green River into the lake. 174.21.133.129 (talk) 09:35, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
