Lake Hancock is fine example of a saltwater marshland estuary which
is very rare in the State of Washington. About 10,000 years ago the
last ice age left a small lagoon here. Lake Hancock estuary covers
about 200 acres and is located in Greenbank, on the west shore on
Admiralty Inlet Historically this was a saltmarsh. When the beach
berm closed off the basin it became a freshwater lake. A big storm
in 1934 removed a large portion of the beach berm and it again
became a saltwater lagoon
From the Kisok answer the following questions?
1. What type of 3 kinds of plants grow in this salt/fresh water
marshland? 2. Why is Lake Hancock not open to the public
anymore?
