CommentsThese magnificent bryozoans are located at Little Martha Lake, 13 acre lake that is 20 feet deep. I can check Lake Cassidy if needed. They are plentiful and can be seen all over the lake and there seems to be more each year. The first time I noticed them was in 2014. I monitor the lake yearly for the Snohomish County Lakes Management Department.
