Shorecrest has Big Rock
Thursday, September 8, 2011
As contractors were excavating for the new water retention system at Shorecrest High School, they discovered a huge boulder buried there.
After digging to free the boulder they were able to roll it out of the way.
It now will be Shorecrest's Big Rock near the new gym.
This boulder probably weighs about five tons as it is a solid ball of granite.
Do we have any geologists who would like to explain this?

There's big rocks all over around the school. Look at the rock sticking out of the ground at the entrance to the alley on NE 158th. it pops back out of the ground at the house across the street in their yard. They also ran into a huge rock while they were digging in 25th NE last month to install the sewer for the new bldg.
I'm a professional geologist from the University of Newark and rocks like this mean ancient glacial eruptions. Puget Sound used to be covered in a massive glacier in the last ice age and rocks frozen inside have been scattered all over the Seattle area. Or, it is a dinosaur egg
Dr. Tang, you are a beautiful man. I am the grand pooba of the Knights of the Rocky Table, and I don't just say that to anyone. Thumbs up if you're reading this in 2723 in your space ship! lol lol (<----Mr. Krabbs's eyes).
I mean no offense to any of you fine, distinguished gentlemen, but I fail to see how this rock merits any of this controversy. There are many rocks all over town that are as equally impressive as the rock that is receiving this publicity, as Mr. Anonymous has pointed out and they are just as deserving of admiration. There is an amazing rock located in Fremont that looks like a troll and I am surprised to see that it has not been discovered and flaunted on this website. There are also a series of rocks located in North Dakota that resemble to a flabbergasting degree a few of our nations more famous presidents. There is a rock in Australia that is much bigger than this feeble rock, plus it is red. The moral of this story is that if we really want this petition that The Knights of the Rocky Table has devised to be taken seriously, we must treat all rocks, large and small, white and black, quartz and crystal, to feel like they are a part of this beautiful nation then we must give our love to them all.
I love rocks as much as the next alumnus and this, being from my school, makes it a special rock, anony mouse. I take great pride that its from the land where I was. I'm just worried that it may be easily tagged or marked from a rival high school. We may need to protect it better. I suggest a live camera watching the rock at all times. We can call it the rock watch.
I completely agree with Dr. Lionel Hutz! On the off chance this is a dinosaur egg it would be eggcelent to catch the birth of an ancient creature on film! I personally don't know much about the Knights of the Rocky Table but it seems like they would be exemplary members for rock watch. I'd like to trade contact information with Dr. Hutz, Grand Pooba Gill and Anony Mouse to discuss the formation of the watch. While this seems like a poorly secured website and I feel uncomfortable posting such sensitive information here, I'll do it anyways
