A teaching pedestal exists by Kiosk #1 in the Gardens, “When the State is Wrong,” presents the decades’ long concern about what happens to Bonhoeffer Gardens’ water after it leaves the Gardens and Living History Farm, flowing north. No stream is as incorrectly
mapped in the State of Washington as is Freeborn Church Creek’s West Fork (see red arrows). Comments and information would be appreciated – especially the reported US Navy’s use of the adjacent parcel to the north after WW II for “heavies,” the residual perhaps still polluting Freeborn Church Creek’s West Fork waters, perhaps reflecting the cancer rates reportedly found downstream. Note: The State has visited, sending both surveyors and ecologists these past 2 months. They are presently studying this issue to ensure highways north of Seattle no longer dwarf the Grand Coulee Dam as a barrier for fish migration. Grand Coulee, with no fish ladders, was considered a problem until in 1950 50 miles downstream, the Chief Joseph Dam was built. It, too, has no fish ladders.
