The Fourth of July is another significant event, particularly for the 322 homes around Lake Sawyer. The lake’s homeowner’s association organizes various activities, including a fun run, paddleboard and kayak races, water ski competitions, and a grand fireworks display.The festivities can be enjoyed from two parks: Lake Sawyer Regional Park, spanning 142 acres, and a smaller boat launch park. Black Diamond is also host to the well-known Tough Mudder, an endurance event that has been a fixture in the community since around 2013. Most events occur on private land, with some portions running through Lake Sawyer Regional Park and Palmer Coking Coal property. The event, attracting participants from near and far, features the town’s ability to host large-scale, community-centric events. 15 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 05, ISSUE 08 BLACK DIAMOND, WA
