Haller Lake

The claim in the lede that Haller Lake is a source for Thornton Creek is unsourced, and contradicts at least one watershed map. Please feel free to contribute to a discussion of this topic at Talk:Haller Lake, Seattle#Thornton Creek.—Myasuda (talk) 04:25, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

The links at [1] and [2] show that Haller Lake's watershed is disjoint from Thornton Creek. From this evidence, as well as the other links provided at Talk:Haller Lake, Seattle#Thornton Creek, I'll proceed to remove the statement that "Its source is Haller Lake" from the article.—Myasuda (talk) 01:18, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Human population

200,000 people in the watershed sounds awfully high: that would be roughly 1/3 of the city. Has someone got a more specific citation for that (e.g. a quoted, specific statement)? - Jmabel | Talk 00:51, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

75,000, it's not a great article so if you see something wrong feel free to improve it. Always beleive in hope (talk) 23:33, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

References a mess

Why is there a references and a bibliography? and more importantly why are is there a different reference for every tributary source? I'm not sure what to do about the reference problems because I don't want to remove the references with information actually in the article but it's a real mess.
