Hi.  It's been quite a while since I was on the water, but I had a question I was hoping one of you could answer:  why are so many rivers in Washington colored green?  I remember seeing the Cle Elum one time, for example, and it was prettier than a emerald! 

Thanks for your time,
Jonathan

If I remember right it has something to do with the glacial run off.
