The Raging River is a 17-mile-long tributary of the Snoqualmie River in King County, Washington. The river's name comes from its steep gradient and swift currents, which make it a popular destination for whitewater rafting and kayaking. Historically, the river was used by Native American tribes for fishing and transportation. The river's flow is largely regulated by the Chester Morse Lake reservoir, which is created by the Masonry Dam. The dam was built in the early 1900s to provide hydroelectric power for the city of Seattle. Today, the reservoir is also used for recreational activities like fishing, boating, and camping. Agricultural uses for the river include irrigation for nearby farms. The Raging River remains an important part of the region's history and ecosystem.
