Water Quality Information
Summary
Lake Bryant appears to be in healthy condition for a eutrophic lake. The lake has low water clarity (partly due to dark water color), high nutrient concentrations, and depleted oxygen levels. Shoreline development is unlikely because of peat bog soils, but future development in the watershed and potential leaching from a nearby closed landfill are concerns.
Reports
A comprehensive Snohomish County State of the Lakes Report was produced in 2003 and includes a specific section on Lake Bryant. Individual lake updates to this report are provided each year as new data are collected.
Data
Snohomish County Surface Water Management (SWM) together with volunteer lake-monitors have been collecting water quality data for Lake Bryant since 1994. Current and historical lake water quality data are available online in SWM's interactive Water Quality Database.
