The Name Game

Bevis Lake, a 5.7-acre body of water in a forested area about 25 miles northeast of Seattle, has taken on a new persona in Bureau records: Butthead Lake.

It's not unusual for small lakes in out-of-the-way places to have different names because of variations in county, state or other official records, but there are no such indications in this case, said Ken Brown, a land surveyor with the state Department of Natural Resources.

"That means someone is playing a joke, I think," Brown said in all sincerity.
