Lake Loma

Lake Loma is located in the Seven Lakes area north of the Tulalip reservation. Loma is the first in a chain of four lakes and drains westward into Lake Crabapple. The lake is 22.6 acres in size and is relatively shallow, with a maximum depth of 28 feet and an average depth of 11 feet. The watershed, or the land area that drains into the lake, covers 217.9 acres and approximately 40% of the land is developed.

Recreational Opportunities

Lake Loma Algae Control Plan

Snohomish County developed this plan in 2019 in coordination with community members in response to ongoing concerns of lake health. The goal of this plan is to provide the community with a road map to reduce phosphorus pollution, the underlying source of toxic algae blooms to the lake. Included in the plan are:

  • Major sources of phosphorus to the lake
  • Effective solutions to control the pollution and reduce toxic algae
  • Cost estimates and benefits of each option
  • Next steps for the lake community to implement the plan

If implemented, there will be long-term benefits to the health of Lake Loma including reduced occurrence of algal blooms, increased water clarity and improved dissolved oxygen levels in the lake. The lake community will now need to collectively decide if the benefits of the implementation plan are worth the required financial and time investment. The first step would be for interested residents to create a committee to review the plan and propose a path forward to the broader community. Click on the icons below to learn more.
