Welcome

Welcome to Moses Lake Memories. We have put this site together to provide Moses Lake residents with an easy-to-use place to write and tell about their memories of the early days of the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project and the development of Moses Lake as a community.

If you have memories of the early days when the water came, or even just prior to the arrival of the water, please feel free to post. To write about something, just register on the website at the sidebar registration and once your account is activated you will be able to contribute. Just click on the DASHBOARD link on the right-hand side of the page after you login and you will be taken to your dashboard where you can write a post and upload pictures.  Once you have written your post, just click on the button that says Submit for Publication. We will respond once we look over what you have written.

Posted items must be approved by a site administrator before they are released to public viewing. We will make sure that your typing and spelling is corrected and that the content will be good for the public before it is released. We will also try to make sure that you are not embarrassed by a typing error. :-)

The site can also host and handle your photographs and once you are logged in you can easily upload them and add them to your contributed page. If you need help, we can assist you or do it for you. Just let us know at webmaster@gcpower.net.

We hope to get the stories of families, memories of school, farming, happy times and even sad times, and we hoped that folks with memories of the Mt. Saint Helens volcanic eruption in 1980 will contribute their stories, along with their photographs.

Farming stories, the harvest of 1957, potatoes, sugar beets, cold winters, hot summers, vacations, the sand dunes, wind storms, dust blowing, empires built, empires lost, hunting, fishing, pheasants, ducks, dances, hot rods, businesses, business owners these are all good things  for the site. If you have a senior picture of when you graduated and a now, today, picture please share it. How about Moses Lake Chief stories, wrestling, football, basketball, baseball, etc? Got a story? How about sharing it with us?

So there you go, that’s the idea, let us see where this goes from here.
