It’s unclear how they got there.

Maybe well-meaning pet owners who wanted them gone but didn’t want to kill them. Maybe an angler who was using them for bait.

However it happened, one thing is clear: There aren’t supposed to be goldfish in West Medical Lake.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is planning to poison the lake this fall to kill the goldfish and return the lake to its glory as a haven for big and numerous rainbow and brown trout.
