Some warm weather and an abundance of rain has flooded all of the lowlands in Western Washington. For most of the day no one in the greater Seattle area could leave the state by vehicle without going through Canada. The East to West highways were closed by avalanches and the North to South roads were closed do to flooding. All of that high-mileage food was at a halt in the back of many tractor trailers.
Our property seems to be right at the edge of this potentially record setting flood. The picture above is from the back of the house looking Northeast at our neighbors fields. This graph is from the National Weather Service. It is a reading from around 7:00PM on Thursday. The green line is the forecast. The river (usually 1.5 miles away) in Snohomish is suppose to crest around 11:00PM.
