Fittingly for Earth Day, author David B. William will share stories about the Lake Washington Ship Canal's construction and operation, highlighting the changes that occurred around Renton when the lake dropped nine feet and the Black River—a tributary of the Duwamish River that drained Lake Washington until 1916—began to disappear.
