Hidden Lake

Hidden Lake is a dammed section of Boeing Creek upstream of Innis Arden Way. This is a constructed open water feature designed to improve aquatic habitat; it contains a sediment forebay to trap sediment as it moves into the lake. In order to keep the lake as an open-water feature, the City maintains it by removing sediment on an annual or biannual basis.

It is part of Boeing Creek Park, a wooded park with trails and picnic areas.

SOURCE INFORMATION

During the sampling period, Puget Soundkeeper Alliance regularly updates the Swim Guide to reflect the most current information.

Local health officials follow the Ten State Standard –a geometric mean of 200 fecal coliforms with no single sample exceeding 1000 – to determine whether a swimming beach is polluted. The unit of measure is a CFU which stands for Colony Forming Units.

A beach is marked Green (open) when a single sample is below 1000 CFU/100ml and the geometric mean of the five most recent samples is below 200 CFU/100ml.

A beach is marked Red (closed) when either a single sample exceeds 1000 CFU/100ml or a geometric mean of the five most recent samples exceed 200 CFU/100ml

A beach is marked Grey when current water quality data is not available.

If a sample is found to exceed the Ten State Standard three new samples are collected. If the average of these samples confirms the results from the routine sample, Public Health Seattle & King County is alerted and determines the health and safety implications of the bacteria and algal toxin data collected and works with King County and the local park manager to post an advisory.
