Date Posted: 22 Jan 2012 at 9:16pm 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 Replies: Posted By: thad2000 Date Posted: 22 Jan 2012 at 9:30pm If I remember right it has something to do with the glacial run off. ahhh... here is a link: http://baileybear.hubpages.com/hub/Colors-of-Water-at-Earths-Surface-Lakes-Rivers-Glaciers ------------- why not!
