What we know about American Lake

Every line here is checked against a named source. Nothing on this page was written for a different town and had the name swapped.

    American Lake is the biggest lake in Lakewood at 1,091 acres, with an average depth of 53 feet and a maximum of 90 feet.

  • FACT

    Lakewood's storm drains discharge into surface water. Washington's Department of Ecology says pressure-washing wash water should not go to the ground or the storm drain, so it has to be captured or directed to a lawn or landscape bed where it can soak in.

The job in American Lake

Living on the lake means shade, moisture and a north side of the house that never fully dries out. It also means whatever runs off your driveway ends up in the water you swim in. So on American Lake we treat wash water as part of the job: it gets directed onto lawn or landscape where it can soak in, or captured, and it does not go down the storm drain or over the bank.

Docks, decks and lakeside patios are the big one here. Algae on a dock is slippery in a way that hurts people. We bring it back to bare wood color without gouging the boards, and we do the deck stairs, the seawall walk and the patio while we are there.

Roofs on lakefront homes get the same treatment as everywhere in Lakewood: low-pressure soft wash, moss treatment, gutters cleared, before and after photos on every one.

Four powers. One phone number...

Text a photo of the worst part.

Seriously, the grossest corner of the driveway, the mossiest slope of the roof, the garage you can't park in. That's all it takes to get a number. The Moss is counting on you not sending it.
