Soap Lake unveils big sun dial
SOAP LAKE, Grant County — A big sun dial sculpture has been dedicated in the town of Soap Lake.
SOAP LAKE, Grant County — A big sun dial sculpture has been dedicated in the town of Soap Lake.
Saturday's ceremony at East Beach Park was a culmination of 15 years of work by volunteers from the Soap Lake Garden Club.
The $500,000 project is intended to bring new attention to Soap Lake, said Raymond Gravelle, the club's sculpture project manager.
Soap Lake has long been known for its "healing waters" because of the high mineral content in the lake, which attracted World War I soldiers to the area seeking a cure for Buerger's disease, the inflammation and clotting of arteries and veins.
