Aldwell, Ends Well. Is named so to commemorate the restoration of the Elwha River in Washington's Olympic National Park. Lake Adwell was where the river collected behind the Elwha Damn until March 2012 when the entire damn was removed and by April 2012 Lake Adwell was emptied. The lake received it's name from Thomas Adwell who began constrution on the damn in 1910. As the river begins to flow freely and the lake dissapears we could only think... Aldwell, Ends Well.
