Could I build a fish pond where I live?
I live in eastern Washington. Could I build a fish pond in my yard? If so, how should I maintain it during the winter, since we usually get freezing temperatures? How cold can fish like koi stand? Are there any other pond fish species that are more suitable to colder temperatures? Is there any other info I would need for building a fish pond? Thanks I really appreciate any info or suggestions you might have.

make sure the pond is deep enough so that when it does freeze the fish can survive below the ice, their are many fish species that can survive the cold

Find out your freeze line and make sure your pond is deeper than that. Put in goldfish rather than koi. They are cheaper and require lots less care.
And here's how to build your pond:
