SOAP LAKE-HISTORY

• Soap Lake is a meromictic soda lake in the town
  of Soap Lake, Washington formed by the Missoula
  Floods at the foot of the Grand Coulee. The lake
  gets its name from the naturally occurring foam
  that gives its water a soapy appearance, and
  because the lake mineral-rich waters have a
  slick, soapy feel. The lake is approximately 3
  square miles in area and 70 feet deep.
• At that time, Soap Lake was already a busy resort
  and health spa. It contained four hotels and many
  rooming houses and businesses catering to
  sojourners seeking a cure. Soap Lake has been
  internationally known during the past century for
  its uniquely mineral-rich (23) waters and mud.

SOAP LAKE-HISTORY
Soap Lake is located in the center of the state
of Washington, 20 miles north of Interstate 90
between Seattle and Spokane, sitting in a desert
environment with nine inches or less of rainfall
per year and 320 days of sun. Soap Lake is formed
at the end of a chain of lakes running down the
center of the Lower Grand Coulee. The Lower Grand
Coulee is over a mile and a half wide in places
with sheer basalt rock walls rising 900 feet over
the coulee floor. Coulee Corridor-National Scenic
Byway, runs through Soap Lake and up the floor of
the canyon heading towards Grand Coulee Dam and
Canada.

SOAP LAKE-HISTORY
Soap Lakes mineral-rich waters have long been
thought to have medicinal value. In fact, it is
said that rival Indian tribes would call a truce
when they came to Soap Lake to relax and heal
themselves and their animals. This is verified by
recorded history and the number of Indian
artifacts found in the area over the years.
Washington State tourist guides in the 1920s
referred to Soap Lake as the worlds greatest
mineral sea and people afflicted with Buergers
disease found that bathing in the lake would cure
their illnesses. The city of Soap Lake bills
itself as Washingtons Health Resort.
