z,

The water in the reservoir can rise or drop several feet, even when full - the depth is rather shallow in many areas - provides excellent fishing and bass cover - but can ruin a good boat motor in a hurry. For that past few years the water levels have been dropping and we've even had the Governor declare a drought. governor.wa.gov

The stumps don't rot away as quickly as you'd think - they can remain for several decades. I've seen old growth cedar stumps in the forest and in current clear cuts that date back 80 years or more. On the tree farms they grow firs for 25-40 years and cut them - the old growth stumps are still there from three or four generations of harvests ago.

For some old growth trees try Olallie 12-14 ft diameter trees.

Hwy 90 passes by three main reservoirs two nearer Spokane, one closer to Seattle. I don't recall ever seeing any clear cuts on Hwy 90 itself - up some of the hillsides - of course.
