How do I have a lake water sample tested for algae?
If you think that your lake has an algae bloom and you want to have the algae identified, please contact Tricia Shoblom at the Washington Department of Ecology at: • Telephone: (425) 649-7288 • Email address: tsho461@ecy.wa.gov Tricia will ask you questions about the bloom and help you decide what to do. If you have a digital camera, she may ask you to email her a photograph of the bloom. The algal identification and toxicity testing service started April, 2007 and is ongoing.
