Rainbow Lake is showing physical signs of a potential blue-green algae outbreak, also known as cyanobacteria. Columbia County Health Department staff has been alerted and is working with the Department of Ecology to potentially submit samples for testing for cyanobacteria. Although not all blue-green blooms are toxic, the Washington State Department of health encourages people to Avoid contact with water containing algae and keep pets and livestock away from the water. More information on blue-green algae is on the Washington State Department of Health website.
