- Don’t have time to visit Washington’s wild and scenic backcountry? Some of the exciting geology Washington has to offer may be just a stone’s throw away from your home. Lake Sammamish, a popular suburban beach getaway, lies just to the east of Seattle. At the lake’s southern end, Lake Sammamish State Park boasts a whole array of activities on water and land for the whole family. It’s certainly worth a day trip. For a geology-enthusiast, however, a pleasant afternoon by the lake can also involve imagining what the valley looked like during the last ice age. Take a break from paddling and picnicking to think about how geologic forces created this well-loved recreation area.

Ahab (/ˈeɪ.hæb/, AY-habb; Hebrew: אַחְאָב, romanized: ʾAḥʾāḇ; Akkadian: 𒀀𒄩𒀊𒁍, romanized: Aḫâbbu; Koine Greek: Ἀχαάβ, romanized: Akhaáb; Latin: Achab) was the 7th king of Israel, the son and successor of King Omri, and the husband of Jezebel of Sidon. He is depicted in the Hebrew Bible as a Baal worshipper and is criticized for causing moral decline in Israel, though some modern scholars question this.
