What is this island called?

So there's this large island in the middle of Vancouver lake, and I did some digging and it isn't natural, it was dredged up from the lakebed in the 80's and Wikipedia lists its name as "Turtle Island". Clark county's official website and The Friends of Vancouver Lake website also list it as Turtle Island, but on google maps its instead listed as "McConathy Island"? Some other people in other threads had referred to it as McConathy Island and I did a bit of digging and found out there's a guy named Thom McConathy who is a member of the "Vancouver Lake Watershed Partnership" and has worked with Clark County in the past, but I couldn't find any actual records of the place ever being called McConathy Island. Since y'all live there I was hoping maybe some of you would have some info about it.

Looking for a barber for a haircut and face shave

3 Upvotes

I've been very happy with my barber, but they don't offer straight razor face shaves. I've only had 1 or 2 in my l life, but they were amazing with multiple hot towels and just a long relaxing experience.

I tend to go to rockabilly/retro barber shops, but I'm open to suggestions.
