A town in Soap Lake, Washington, Soap Lake is filed here for what the record attaches to it. The mineral lake—where the "healing" water stays.

Soap Lake is the Smokiam — the 'healing waters' that's the named, the 'truce' that's the tribes. The 'slick' is the feel — the 'saponification' that's the actual soap, the 'mineral' that's the highest. The 'Buerger's' is the cured — the 'WWI vets' that's the bathed, the '1917' that's the miracle headline.
The 'Siloam' is the sanitarium — the 'Cottage City' that's the rival, the '1919' that's the merged. The 'Dead Sea' is the compared — the '70 feet' that's the deep, the 'extremophiles' that's the life. Soap Lake is the depleted — the 'extracted' that's the thousands, the 'conservancy' that's the restore.
The file keeps Soap Lake: the Smokiam healing, the slick saponification, the Buerger's cure, and the depleted minerals.
Soap Lake is the archive's Washington file — the healing's lake.
