Information About

White River (washington)




Before 1906 , the White River joined the Green River near Auburn , and the combined river (under the name "White") joined the Black River at Tukwila to form the Duwamish River , which empties into Elliot Bay at Seattle . In 1906, a great Flood diverted the White River southward via the channel of the Stuck River into the Puyallup River . After the flood that diverted it Tacoma Power created a small resivoir in 1911 known as Lake Tapps which as evolved in to a small community. The Puyallup, which empties into Commencement Bay at Tacoma , remains its outlet today.
