America’s Dead Sea at Medical Lake in Washington
The St. Louis Republic describes Medical Lake on the Great Columbian plateau as America’s Dead Sea. It is about a mile long and up to three quarters of a mile wide, max depth sixty feet, and its waters resemble the Dead Sea in composition. The lake lacks plant and animal life beyond two boat-bug species, a terrapin, and a walking fish with four legs and a finny membrane.
