William L. Case enjoying a dip on the shoulders of a family friend at Hick's Lake on July 4, 1925. With the advent of the automobile, this small chain of spring fed lakes southeast of Olympia became the destination for summer fun. The Thurston County chain consists of Hicks Lake, Long Lake and Pattison Lake. Hicks Lake is located near Lacey and is the the smallest of the trio. By 1926, there were seven resorts on Hicks Lake alone. The resorts offered swimming, fishing, boating, picnicking and camping, the perfect activities for a holiday outing.
