Creative Prompt: Feel your feet press into the ground. Allow the Glacial Lake that once rose past the M to surround you. What swims by? What do you hear? Feel the river rocks at the Lake's bottom and the critters that live in their cool.

Now, allow the Lake to recede, to carry boulders as big as food trucks down the Columbia River Gorge. Let your skin grow hot. Allow the land to dry and green and fill with bison, with people, with a horse-and-buggy downtown. What do you wish we could still see here? Write, doodle or collage a scene where that imagined past and the present meet, for a moment.
