High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Lake Washington is the largest natural lake in King County and the second largest in Washington (after Lake Chelan). It is bordered by the cities of Seattle on the west, Bellevue and Kirkland on the east, Renton on the south and Kenmore on the north, and surrounds Mercer Island. It is fed by the Sammamish River at its north end and the Cedar River at its south. Lake Washington received its present name in 1854 after Thomas Mercer suggested it be named after George Washington, as the new Washington Territory had been named the year before. The Duwamish called it "Lake Xacuab " (Lushootseed: literally great-amount-of-water). Around 1900's the city began discharging sewage into Lake Washington. After significant pollution, the October 5, 1963 issue of the Post Intelligencer referred to the lake as "Lake Stinko". Since, Lake Washington has undergone major improvements, drastically improving the ecology and water quality, turning the water to twice as clear as it was in 1950. Kenmore Air operates passenger seaplane service at Kenmore Air Harbor at the northern end of the lake.
