We ran into FOGL’s Gayle and Richard while strolling around the lake Sunday night and got the scoop on the latest water temperature. Attend the Friends of Green Lake meeting in a week and learn a thing or two about the lake for yourself.

Here’s what’s going on with FOGL as reported at the last Green Lake Community Council meeting:
Next meeting will be September 29th at the Hearthstone – Rick Keil, a professor at the UW – and a leader of the Sound Citizens, program will speak. The Sounds Citizens group collects storm water, Puget Sound water, and looks for markers. For example they see an increase in spices in the water samples right after Thanksgiving. Besides his talk he will be reporting on an analysis of water samples from Green Lake provided by Gayle.
Lake monitoring is on-going. Water temp is 70 deg when last measured in August. Transparency was 13 ft.(3.9 meters). Results are posted on FOGL website.
In October there will be elections and new volunteers are needed. Focus is on the lake and knowledge of science is not a requirement. So please consider volunteering.
