I just wanted to wish all the regional teener breatheren and their families the best of luck with the current conditions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Bellingham has several flooded streets, some only a few blocks from my house. They had to open the flood gates for Lake Whatcom to keep the lake (source for city water) from flooding, which in turn overloaded Whatcom Creek. The choice of lesser of 2 evils. A lot of the surrounding areas are getting hit pretty hard, including a possible closure of I-5 in Ferndale....effectively cutting off north Whatcom Co. I know further south is getting hit pretty bad as well. My teener and myself should make it out of this w/o any casualties...hopefully all others will be as fortunate.

Not meaning to make too much light of the situation, but this is a case where having your teener on jackstands can be a plus. Stay dry out there...

Well I can't get to either of my parent's houses, but I'm sitting pretty high and dry. A few people I work with can't get to work from Chehalis, but I don't personally know anyone that had their houses flooded yet.

Mine was close! the sump pump was on all the time for a day and a half.The water was seeping through the floor of the garage so the floor was wet to the touch.If it hadnt stop raining i would have picked every thing up and moved the car back to the hauler.Im going to pick up alot of stuff tonite,take the cover off the car and push it outside ,leave the garage doors open and let it dry out it should be ok.I think im going to drive the car this weekend just to stretch its legs and get the blood(oil) pumping |

Well, I haven't had it as bad as you guys farther north but I did have to take a half day off of work to dig ditches in my yard out to the Mckenzie Hwy so that it would drain and the septic tank/drain field would drain. About 3/4 of an acre of my front yard was up past my knee high rubber boots!

I landed at Seatac yesterday around 3pm, as I was flying in you could see all the swollen rivers and creeks. Lots of brown water dumping into the sound. I had some delays on I-5 thru Fife with 2 lanes flooded. Other than that, the drive to the penisula was OK, good to hear no Teeners were sacraficed.
I would love to take a drive this weekend to get the oil pumping, let's hope it stays dry. the satelite pict shows more rain on the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Tony |

Holy crap!
I've kayaked both the Snoqualmie and the Skykomish but not that blown out. Lucky my Mom lives on higher ground off California in W Seattle. The bad news is that it'll stop raining.... never. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

if they have a 4x4 stossel creek rd was opened. note that this "road" is a old logging road and has been closed for several years.
The email I got reads: All roads in and out of Duvall are closed. Each with significant water over them. The only exception, thanks to the DNR's generosity, is Stossel Creek Rd. NE to Youngs River Truck trail to 299th Ave SE to Cedar Ponds Rd. to Ben Howard Rd. to Rt 203. From there you could go Monroe to pretty much wherever |
