Spring Move



Every spring, and every fall, the floating cabins and other buildings are moved from either near the shore to the log boom or from log boom back to shore for the normal summer configuration.

Why?

Ross Lake is a reservoir and Seattle City Light Lowers the level of the lake for electrical demands and for prevention of damage and flooding due to winter floods and early spring snow melt.

So, the resort moves the buildings and cabins in November and May.

Here are some images that Tom and the staff shot in May to show us the process.
