Geocache Description:


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?
