FTF MaddiesDaddy........ Please return to cache to exact location!!!! Help support the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition http://www.duwamishcleanup.org/ History of Duwamish River (from www.wiki.com) Until 1906, the White and Green Rivers combined at Auburn, and joined the Black River at Tukwila to form the Duwamish. In 1906, however, the White River changed course following a major flood and emptied into the Puyallup River as it does today. The lower portion of the historic White River—from the historic confluence of the White and Green Rivers to the conjunction with the Black River—is now considered part of the Green River. Later, in 1911 the Cedar River was diverted to empty into Lake Washington instead of the Black River; at that time, the lake itself still emptied into the Black. Then, with the opening of the Lake Washington Ship Canal in 1916, the lake's level dropped nearly nine feet and the Black River dried up. From that time forward, the point of the name change from Green to Duwamish is no longer the confluence of the Green and Black Rivers, though it has not changed location. Despite the industrialization of the Duwamish River, it remains an important habitat for the thousands of salmon and trout that visit the marshes and estuaries each year to spawn. The Duwamish supports Chinook, Coho, chum and steelhead, not to mention the more rare pink, sockeye, sea-run cutthroat trout and bull trout. 3/25/2012 – Replaced cache, the cache went MIA. This new location should be a little dryer and has a better view!
