And isn't Moraine Lake in Alberta of similar origins? At least a large
land slide, maybe or maybe not associated with an earthquake.
Scott: Which lake N of Mt. Rainier? You know, there are still standing
timbers/remnants of shoreline forests at the bottom at Lake Washington
(South end at least) that are the result of the lahars/mud flow from
it's last eruption.

Yes, all the schools that collapsed, why?
As many had stated, they are allowed only one child and many are too old
to have another one now, which has to be doubly painful.
There are quake lakes in the Pacific Rim of Fire, but the ones I have
been shown are really old, newest ones are like several hundred years
old, though some were caused by volcanic eruptions and the debris
gouging out a lake. I grew up next to one of those, 30 miles north of Mt
Rainer from it's 1820/54? Eruption.
