If you get too many hits, make sure to select the option to show the search results as topics instead of posts. You can also search only in topic titles. Unfortunately Lake and Washington are very common words, and you can't search by phrase.

Example: to search for pages on nwhikers.net with the two phrases "lake washington" and "green lake", type the following in the Google search box: "lake washington" "green lake" site:nwhikers.net -
