Angle Lake (Washington)
Urban lake in SeaTac, Washington / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angle Lake is an L-shaped lake in SeaTac, Washington, United States, occupying 102 acres (0.41 km2) between Interstate 5 and State Route 99. The lake most likely was so named on account of its outline, which forms a right angle.[2] Like nearby Lake Burien and Bow Lake, it was formed by the glacial retreat roughly 12,000 years ago.[3]
