Name Origin
Mountains to Sound Greenway, volume 11, number 1 describes the origin of SMC Lake's name:
There is proof that SMC stands
for Special Meandering Corner. The King County Archives has
the original land survey notes dated July and August 1902.
The notes are as John Taylor, a former Weyerhaeuser employee
from a family of North Bend pioneers, remembered from almost
35 years ago: The original survey crew established a Special
Meandering Corner on the lake shore. In this case the crew
chief inscribed S.M.C. on a rock 18" 14" 5" was 12"
the ground and referenced it with two Bearing Trees (BT's)
each likewise inscribed with S.M.C.
