==Tourism== The city is currently trying to attract tourism by attempting to revive the health aspect of the lake to attract the spa crowd. The minerals in the lake are said to have healing properties for [[Buerger's disease]]. Two older brick buildings along the main street northbound have been renovated to house an art museum and a coffee shop. Another tourism effort is to install a novel [[roadside attraction]]: a 52,000 pound (60 feet in height) [[lava lamp]], formerly a [[Target Corporation|Target]] advertisement in [[Times Square]].<ref>[http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tips/getAttraction.php?Tip_AttractionNo==7141 Roadside America web site] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927215021/http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tips/getAttraction.php?Tip_AttractionNo==7141 |date=September 27, 2007 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.seattlepi.com/local/206134_soaplake01.html Soap Lake pins hope on giant lava lamp] Seattle P-I, January 1, 2005</ref><ref>[http://www.seattlepi.com/local/257087_lava26.html Soap Lake to spend $100,000 to install lava lamp] Seattle P-I, January 26, 2006</ref> That effort was profiled in the 2010 documentary film, World's Largest.<ref> [http://www.worldslargestdoc.com World's Largest, official film site]</ref>
