A Selected Bibliography of Bellevue, Yamhill County, Oregon

A compilation of essential readings detailing the history, geography, and culture of the region.

The Lake Washington story a pictorial history by Lucile Saunders McDonald

Title Cover Image

The Lake Washington Story offers a rich visual and historical account of the expansive freshwater lake that serves as the geographic heart of the Seattle metropolitan area in Washington State. The narrative meticulously traces the early development along the lake's shores, highlighting the nascent logging and shipbuilding hubs of Kirkland and Renton, as well as the densely forested, isolated enclaves of Mercer Island prior to the modern era of floating bridges. McDonald places special emphasis on the dramatic topographical engineering of the region, particularly detailing the construction of the Lake Washington Ship Canal and the Montlake Cut, which permanently lowered the lake's water level and physically connected it to the saltwater of Puget Sound. Through its extensive photographic archive, the book captures the physical transformation of this vital aquatic corridor from a remote pioneer waterway navigated by steamboats into the defining geographic boundary separating Seattle from the Eastside suburbs.
