- Class Gastropoda (digitalatlasofancientlife.org)
Gastropods are the second largest class of animals (after the Insecta)—with 40,000–90,000 living species and at least 13,000 extant and fossil genera (Ponder and Lindberg, 2020)—and are also one of the most evolutionarily successful groups in the variety of ecosystems and habitats that they occupy.

If you want to see the headwaters of the mighty Snoqualmie River, head for the source. Source Lake, that is. It’s a modest pond, but the setting is remarkable. Craggy peaks ring this pool, found along the way to one of the state’s most popular alpine lake – Snow Lake.
