Crescent Lake Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)The Crescent Lake Unit consists of forest, sloughs, and farm fields at the confluence of the Skykomish and Snoqualmie rivers. This unit is a popular pheasant and waterfowl hunting site in the fall and winter; other recreation opportunities include fishing, and bird dog training in designated areas. A network of trails wind through the forest and fields to provide areas for hiking and nature observation, plus a 200-foot long footbridge built across the lake in 1978 completes the loop.

Helen Keller (Wikipedia)Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. Born in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, she lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness when she was 19 months old. She then communicated primarily using home signs until the age of seven, when she met her first teacher and life-long companion Anne Sullivan. Sullivan taught Keller language, including reading and writing. After an education at both specialist and mainstream schools, Keller attended Radcliffe College of Harvard University and became the first deafblind person in the United States to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.
