That said, I wonder at the depth of the pond if it is choked with weeds. Go back and assure yourself that you aren't buying a shallow mess or swamp.


The lakes here get clogged with pads. I haven't been able to get boots on ground at this property. I got a hold of the realtor for this property and i was mistakened in the maps I previously posted. The coordinates are N 47.48954 W 122.75012. Its weird. In the mapper.acme the NE part of the pond is filled but in maps.live the NE part appears to be dry. I will probably check this out this week and verify.

From the sat pics this place looks like a pond that I regularly fish in the summer. The place I fish is average 6-8ft deep but can easily be 10 ft deep but its got tons of organic matter built up on the bottom. Maybe next weekend I will hike in there with my float tube and do a little investigating.

I do want to thank everyone for all the advice. I thought I found a decently good spot but after reviewing the soil it won't work. I almost went ahead and got it but asked the current land owner to do a 10' test hole and see how that goes.
